“Teaching is more than imparting knowledge: it is inspiring change,” said the famous American writer William Arthur Ward. Today, with digital learning, this statement makes more sense than ever, as educators play a key role. This is the foundation of TECH Global University’s educational mission, recognised by Forbes as the best online university in the world, where excellence in teaching is its hallmark.

Various studies highlight that the quality of educators is one of the most influential factors in academic success. According to UNESCO reports, “the experience and commitment of teachers are essential for improving educational outcomes.” Moreover, an article published by The Chronicle of Higher Education states that educators with international experience not only bring advanced technical knowledge but also enrich students’ cultural perspectives, preparing them for a globalised world.

TECH Global University boasts a faculty of over 6,000 specialists holding prominent positions at leading companies, organisations, and hospitals worldwide. Among them are professionals holding senior roles in tech giants like Google and Amazon, as well as executives from the banking sector, such as Mastercard directors. Also, there are leaders from global corporations like Coca-Cola or Shell, and top hospitals like MD Anderson Cancer Centre and Mayo Clinic. In this context, the university has earned the title "Harvard online."

This transformative vision aims to “bring and diversify university education to make it accessible to all corners of the world,” according to Manuel Sánchez-Cascado de Fuentes, CEO of TECH Education. This ensures multifaceted teaching and “fosters a learning environment that transcends borders, allowing students to gain a global and up-to-date perspective of their respective disciplines.”

Its high academic quality is also reflected in its employment rate. 99% of its graduates secure qualified employment after completing their degrees. For this reason, it is the highest-rated university in the world by its students, with an overall rating of 4.9 out of 5 on the leading digital opinion platforms.

TECH Global University offers 20 faculties covering the most relevant areas of knowledge and their practical application. In all of them, the faculty becomes the backbone of educational excellence, enabling students to connect scientific research with the most current and demanding professional realities.

 TECH Global University, leader in healthcare education

Since its foundation, TECH Global University has positioned itself as a leader in the healthcare field. This has allowed it to establish close ties with four centres that rank among the top 5 hospitals in the world, with guest directors in various fields of Medicine and Nursing.

He has won numerous awards and has been included in the list of Highly Cited Researchers worldwide.

The world’s largest Business School

TECH Global University features a Business School faculty that has become a global reference in executive education. A distinctive trait of this institution is its ability to connect students with active business leaders who bring their knowledge and experience directly to virtual classrooms.

Technological innovation and video games at the academic core

Rebeca Hwang, Director of Thunderbird School of Global Management at the University of Arizona, is another key figure in the TECH Global University faculty. She is considered a leading expert in business management with high technological capital, an area in which she innovates using resources like Artificial Intelligence. All her knowledge is shared with students in the Master’s in Digital Business Creation and Entrepreneurship.

Thanks to her teaching, graduates "will be better positioned to apply modern tools in entrepreneurship and business creation processes ahead of their competitors." Her knowledge will delve into “the technological implications of the AI revolution and the key aspects of leadership, culture, and other soft skills needed in the business world,” according to Hwang herself.

Another standout in the TECH Global University faculty is Joshua Singh. With more than 20 years of experience in the video game industry, he has worked with prestigious companies like Marvel Entertainment, Wildlife Studios, Wavedash Games, Blizzard Entertainment, and Riot Games.
