Introduction to UNIA (International University of Andalucía) | Universidad Internacional de Andalucía

Founded in 1994, UNIA was created by the Andalusian autonomous community to complement the region’s existing university system. Its mission is to foster the creation, development, transmission, and critical analysis of science, technology, and culture through teaching, coordinated research, and international scientific exchange.

Academic Focus

UNIA specializes exclusively in post‑graduate education. Its offerings include:

• Official Post‑graduate – POP (Programas oficiales de postgrado)
• Doctoral – PhD programmes
• Own‑degree – University master’s degrees, expert courses
• Continuing Education – Update, perfection, summer courses, scientific and cultural activities

These programs are designed to complement the broader Andalusian higher‑education landscape, providing advanced training that other universities may not cover.

Quality Recognition

UNIA is the first public academic institution in Spain to earn the EFQM 400+ quality seal for academic management, highlighting its commitment to excellence and continuous improvement.

Campus Network

UNIA operates permanent sites in four Andalusian provinces:

• Seville – Rectorate housed in the historic Monastery of Santa María de las Cuevas on the Isla de la Cartuja.
• Huelva – Campus at Sta. Mª de La Rábida, Palos de la Frontera.
• Jaén – Antonio Machado campus in Baeza.
• Málaga – Technological campus in Málaga.

Each location supports the university’s specialized teaching and research activities, leveraging local cultural and scientific resources.

Why UNIA Stands Out

• Focused postgraduate portfolio – no undergraduate programs, allowing deep expertise in advanced fields.
• International orientation – strong emphasis on interregional and global scientific collaboration.
• Award‑winning management – EFQM 400+ seal signals robust governance and continuous quality improvement.

For students and researchers seeking a high‑level, research‑driven environment within Andalusia, UNIA offers a distinctive blend of specialized programs, historic campuses, and a proven track record of academic excellence.
