Therefore, a descriptive research was developed focusing on qualitative method.  A unique case study. The following collection techniques were used: Observation, documentary research and interview “face to face and talking point” involving two relevant persons for the investigation, who were engaged to the management  in the analysed period. The interviewees were nominated E1 and E2. The software Nvivo was used for data analysis. During the process the content and speech analysis were performed as well as the data triangulation. The presented theoretical framework divides the university pedagogy in three categories: “institutional organization and evaluation, university education and professional teaching development.” Then, from the available conceptions and theoretical framework suggested, it was assumed that the university pedagogy is a field of the specific, transdisciplinary and complex knowledge which deals with higher education embracing teaching, teaching education and institution. Thus, it was verified if the construction of university pedagogy at UNIPAMPA corresponded with the study.  This research proved that, despite some difficulties, the Institutional management and the documents of University demonstrated that UNIPAMPA expressed concern and established its university pedagogy based on the three categories of analysis.
