Program Structure
The program is designed within a sequenced learning path including a predefined order of courses. As the student completes one course, access is granted to the next one. All of the courses structured in this path are compulsory and the student has to finish one course at a time. This allows students to gain knowledge sequentially and apply it immediately. This experiential learning approach increases information retention and eventually, execution. The learning path helps students’ understanding of what is expected of them and their preparation. It also facilitates gathering timely feedback that increases the effectiveness of learning. Researchers show that this holistic experience is vital in adult students’ engagement and achievement.
The program consists of 4 semesters and each semester includes 3 courses except the final semester that covers capstone project progress. All courses are scheduled for 4 weeks within a final course project.

Tuition
International top-ranked colleges and universities squander substantial financial amounts on facilities and amenities most students never use, alongside outrageous graduate tuitions and fees – as high as $90,000 per annum – help pay for the waste.
Contech is different.
Our commitment to keeping operating costs low enables us to maintain a tuition that is about a fraction of that of other top universities. We solely charge what is compulsory to provide an exceptional education, inclusive of top faculty, maintaining small class sizes, offering innovative curriculum and challenging courses, and continually advancing the capabilities of the Active Learning Forum.
Students will not discover manicured gardens or million-dollar climbing walls at Contech because lavish amenities as such are believed to be superfluous to actual learning. By devoting every cent to independent student growth and development, Contech has proven that the value of education can far exceed its cost – not the other way around.
