Teaching methodology

The teaching method at UNIR is one of the most effective when teaching online classes to people of all ages and conditions.

Forget that UNIR is going to give you a book to study and then take an exam, because at UNIR the attention is continuous and there is a variety of courses. The methodology is one hundred percent online, where students have teachers of excellent reputation and renown, highly qualified in their fields. The advantage of the Internet is that the teachers are from different parts of the world, so the best ones are chosen to teach the classes.

Examinations and evaluation

At the university they value and reward the daily effort of each student, so 40% of the final mark corresponds to continuous assessment, which consists of work, attendance to online classes, participation in forums, etc.

The remaining 60% is a face-to-face exam, which takes place on weekends at any of the national and international venues.

Accreditation and validation of the qualification

If you have begun your regulated studies or you have a university degree and you wish to study at UNIR, you can apply for a credit recognition study beforehand, in order to reduce the time it takes to obtain the degree you wish to study.

The studies that can be recognised are all official university studies, university courses and experts that exceed 110 hours, higher level training cycles or equivalent, European language accreditations B1 or higher and accredited related professional experience where the functions carried out and the working life are indicated.

Like any other official university degree in Spain, the UNIR begins with the development of a study plan that ANECA evaluates through its expert commissions, known as the degree verification procedure.

The agency submits the degree to monitoring before its accreditation renewal evaluation, which must be carried out every 4 years in the case of master’s degrees and every 6 years in the case of undergraduate degrees.
