BIP

Blended intensive programmes, known as BIP, are short, intensive programmes that use innovative ways of learning and teaching, including the use of online cooperation. The programmes may include challenge based learning where transnational and transdisciplinary teams work together to tackle challenges for example those linked to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals or other societal challenges identified by regions, cities or companies. By enabling new and more flexible mobility formats that combine physical mobility with a virtual part, blended intensive programmes aim at reaching all types of students from all backgrounds, study fields and cycles.

Polytechnic Institute of Tomar actively promotes participation in blended intensive programmes, offering students and/or collaborators dynamic opportunities to engage in innovative learning experiences that transcend traditional boundaries. Through these programmes, IPT aims to foster collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving skills, preparing students to become active global citizens ready to tackle the challenges of the future.(more here)
