“Teaching is a reciprocal process. Knowledge flows from lecturer to student, and also from student to lecturer. The classroom is the space where this exchange takes place and where professionals are shaped. Individuals who aspire to grow, who are committed to their vocation, and who aim to practise with discernment, knowledge, and genuine professional responsibility.”

JOSÉ MARÍA ORDÓÑEZ IRIARTE

UFV PROFESSOR

“Thanks to UFV’s international agreements, I could do my internship at Tufts University in Boston and apply everything I had learned in the lab during my university degree in a real-world setting. This experience not only strengthened my knowledge but also allowed me to grow in an international context and acquire a broader perspective on my profession.”
