Methodology

TECH Global University uses the Relearning system as a learning methodology, which is based on the directed reiteration of key concepts.

[2]

Relearning is combined with the Harvard Business School Cases after having reached an agreement with Harvard Business Publishing to incorporate this material, along with other teaching resources, including online simulations, technical notes and current business articles. [5]
