The International University of Andalusia (UNIA) is a public university founded in 1994 under the Law of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia. Its aim is to contribute to the creation, development, transmission and critique of science, technology and culture, through teaching, coordinated research and information-exchange across regions and internationally. 

The UNIA has permanent centres in four of the Andalusian provinces: Seville (the Cartuja site | Rectorate, in the Monastery of La Cartuja), Huelva (the Santa María de la Rábida site in Palos de la Frontera), Jaén (the Antonio Machado site in Baeza) and Málaga (the Technology site in the Andalusian Technology Park).

All the programmes delivered by the university are at post-graduate level, in a range of specialisms: official post-graduate studies, doctorates, in-house (unaccredited) degrees including Master’s programmes and specialist courses, refresher and up-skilling courses, summer courses, and a whole host of scientific and cultural activities providing a highly comprehensive university education. The UNIA thus provides a genuinely complementary service alongside the educational and cultural offer of other Andalusian universities.
