Focused on distance learning combined with traditional classroom instruction (called hybrid[8] or blended[9]). With over 150.000 students.[10][11]

Origins and methodology

Founded in 1972 with the stated purpose of providing education opportunities via a distance education system - in which students are taught while not being physically present - UNED awards the same qualifications as other Spanish universities and has the same entry requirements.

International presence

UNED currently has 61 study centres in Spain and - with the co-operation of local institutions - 14 international centres. These locations provide face-to-face sessions with professors once a week. The international centres are located in Bata, Bern, Brussels, Buenos Aires, Caracas, Frankfurt, Lima, London, Malabo, Mexico City, Paris and São Paulo. Additionally, there are exam points in Bogotá, Berlin, New York, Rome and Santiago de Chile.

Affiliation

In 2012 the Spanish newspaper El País featured an article about the launch of UNX, an online platform for teaching entrepreneurship through building mobile apps with App Inventor. UNED is a collaborating partner in this project, along with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Center for Mobile Learning. The UNX online courses are intended to bring technology and entrepreneurship education about to the entire Spanish-speaking world.[12]

Academic profile

A number of factors have been cited to justify the public prestige of UNED:[13]

  • All of UNED exams are supervised
  • Exams must encompass the entirety of the program
  • Students are objectively graded based on a strictly uniform test
  • Distance learning requires additional self-teaching effort and discipline, highly regarded by employers
  • Students from UNED are more likely to continue their education and research after graduation day, applying the self-teaching methodologies learned during their studies[citation needed]

In the last 30 years, UNED has awarded almost 2,000 PhD degrees.[14]

Its international reputation is indicated in that it has held the UNESCO chair in distance education since 1997. This chair promotes research, development and documentation in the field of distance education.[15]
