The University awards undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as non-degree qualifications such as diplomas and certificates, or continuing education units.

UNED is focused on distance learning combined with traditional classroom instruction (called hybrid[6] or blended[7]) and supports over 150,000 students.

The international centers are located in Bata, Bern, Brussels, Buenos Aires, Caracas, Frankfurt, Lima, London, Malabo, Mexico City, Paris and São Paulo.

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.
