The national University of Distance Education (UNED) has a wide distribution of schools, classrooms, libraries and tutors throughout Spain and abroad; in addition to all the services, qualifications and resources that any face-to-face university can offer, but with the freedom to reconcile work and family life with the educational improvement required by our knowledge-based society in a global world. UNED is a university where distances do not matter, both because through its educational methodology it offers the possibility of obtaining official degrees adapted to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) from anywhere in the world and because it is the only university that has Centres in all the Autonomous Communities of Spain, in Europe, Africa and America.
It is the largest university in Spain, with more than 250,000 students pursuing official degrees (27 degrees, 65 master's degrees, 18 doctoral programs) or its more than 600 continuing education courses.
UNED administratively comes under the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities through the General Secretariat for Universities.
