Centro Tecnológico Universidade de Caxias do Sul

In 1995, Fundação Universidade de Caxias do Sul created Centro Tecnológico Universidade de Caxias do Sul, a high school and vocational school education with teaching units in the university campuses in Caxias do Sul and Bento Gonçalves.

Through an educational approach based on the philosophy and principles of the supporting institution -autonomy and responsibility, scientific attitude, integration, solidarity and mutual respect - CETEC combines a solid foundation of general education with training for work, preparing the young to enter higher education and professional activity in the technical area. In addition to high school, the student can choose a technical course in management or systems development.

Principles: autonomy and responsibility,
scientific attitude, integration, solidarity and
mutual respect

In order to fulfill its educational proposal, CETEC follows a philosophical guidance and a curriculum designed especially for the contemporary young student, thus by having a teaching staff with diverse academic and professional experiences, with different titles, and fully qualified to act as intermediaries in the process of student development.

The location of the schools within the university campuses is another distinctive quality of CETEC. Library, museum, laboratories, gyms, sports fields, swimming pool, theater and cinema are part of the physical structure of the franchised University offered to CETEC students, who can then use the results of intellectual production, scientific and cultural characteristics peculiar to a university environment.
