UNIR makes it possible

At the International University of La Rioja we believe that everyone deserves to receive a quality online university education that adapts to their needs, no matter how exceptional they are.

100% Online University

Live online classes

Personal tutors

Nacho Cases, football player

“After football I want to be a professor. I can attend university here but in my time. They have moved exams to different days because they coincided with league games. UNIR makes it possible for athletes like me to combine professional sports with academic training.”

Luis Bey, businessman

“I have a small business in fashion and we needed a strategic differentiation. I took the ADE degree at UNIR because it was the only university that allowed me to continue with my business project and get an education at the same time.”

Marta Riego, mother

“There came a time that I wanted to give up. Work, the house, the kids…it all came together. If I wouldn´t have had anyone to support me, I would have left. But thanks to my tutor I continued. UNIR made it possible for me to have a Degree in Primary Education today.”

Jorge Pérez de Villar, reporter

“Since I was born I can´t hear anything with my right ear and during my Bachelor I had to drop out of classes. UNIR has made things easier for me. I can turn up the volume of a class, or watch it at another time. I had the opportunity to complete my first higher education degree.”

Eva María Calderón, lawyer

“At some point I quit my studies and due to a traffic accident I had to restructure my future. This is when I entered UNIR. They solved all the problems I presented. That´s the difference.”

Rafael San Miguel

“I´m studying a Masters in Visual Analytics and Big Data. Because of my job I travel every week. Only UNIR gave me the possibility to draw up a weekly work plan, with the help of a tutor, which I think will be fundamental for me to graduate”.

Luz Pinzón

“I have a Master in Social Intervention because at UNIR I found an education system that is revolutionizing the world, a system that considers the needs of its students and values their time enormously. I have regained my essence here since I always wanted to go back to school”.

Caridad Jerez, athlete

“I´m national champion of the 60 meters hurdles and a student of Primary Education because only at UNIR I receive the support, resources and facilities I need to make my athletic career compatible with my studies.”

Pablo Muñoz

“A few years ago an accident was the cause for my permanent physical disability. Today, my Law degree from UNIR has given me the chance to create a special online center that will provide free online legal service to groups of disabled people. UNIR changed my life and now the lives of hundreds of others”.

Jorge Pérez, Communication degree

“I suffer loss of hearing in my right ear and I need earplugs in my left. With their live online classes, UNIR has made it easier for me to study a degree which I probably wouldn´t have been able to do taking in-person classes. It has had a significant value to me.”

Martha Lyda Urbina, Master in Neuropsychology

“I had attended a traditional university but it implied displacements. UNIR was a radical change because university came home. It is a different experience where besides making friends you acquire useful knowledge. I almost immediately started applying what I was learning to my patients: children and teenagers that come to my office”.

Juan Ibañez, MBA

“You receive a lot of support: you can contact the professors on the forums, there´s the support of a tutor, you know there is always someone you can go to in case you need anything, a question or consultation. And there’s also constant communication with your classmates on forums, groups or digital platforms.”

Ana Yangüela, Master in Neuropsychology

“You feel proud of your professors because you see their work, what they are dedicated to, their lines of research…and they are right there to ask them anything. That is so valuable and you study with delight because you say, this was explained to me by a person who is an authority on this matter.”

Eliecer Ilarraza, Law degree

“UNIR is flexible. When you have a problem they offer personalized attention. I was having family issues and I couldn´t take my exam and they changed the date. This is something I value highly and that hasn´t happened to me in any other university. They really treat us like people; they listen to our problems and that´s where you can tell the quality of human beings.”

Javier Tecedor, Master degree in Early Childhood Education

“I finished the degree in September and in December I was already working as a religion teacher in a public school. I feel deeply satisfied and now I know that this is the work I wanted to do in my life”.

Jeremy Peck, Primary Education Teaching degree

“During the live online classes you can interact with your teacher and the students. It´s not like watching a video because there is a lot of interaction, it´s like being in an in-person class.”

Beatriz Arellano, Master in Neuropsychology

“This year I have combined 3 things: my family, my job and the Master. With UNIR times can be adjusted to your needs. Besides having live online classes, you can also watch them deferred after.”

Alberto Fauste, Master in Teaching Staff Training for Secondary Education

“To study online was the option that fitted me most. I thought there were a lot of advantages as opposed to in-person classes and to be honest all my expectations have been fulfilled. I remember arriving to the hotel after a day of work and catching up on my studying. I didn´t realize it was going to take so much effort and dedication, but even if I would have known I would have done it anyway. It was very gratifying”.

Carmen Pelach, Early Childhood Education teaching degree

“I wanted an official and homologated university and there it was, UNIR. I have come to realize that it is a university to my size, nearby, where people listen to you even at 9PM at night. For me UNIR is a cocktail of family, work and studies”.
