An experiential, competency-based and personalized methodology
Unlike traditional methodologies from other universities, in the Faculty of Economics and Business of UNIR, we employ a methodology that guarantees an excellent learning experience adapted to the challenges of a changing world in constant evolution.
Experiential learning
- Daily online live classes: they are programmed in advance, but if you can’t attend or have doubts, you can access the recordings of these as many times as you need. You will have 21 high-impact online sessions per subject lasting 45 minutes in which you can interact live with the teacher.
- Live virtual laboratories and workshops: specialized workshops are offered to delve into the latest professional trends and the most innovative tools on the market.
- Practical activities: inspired by the simulation of real learning environments that prepare you for business reality: o Case method: a learning methodology based on a learning-by-doing system, used by prestigious universities such as Harvard and Stanford, which trains you to make strategic decisions in companies by resolving real cases o Forums: debate and reflection sessions in which high-impact content is used (short cases, readings, and podcasts, among others).
- Virtual Campus: our online platform is designed to optimize your learning, where you will find everything you need to study at UNIR: classes, professors, classmates, schedules, forums and much more. • Learning resources: you will have access to different learning resources to complete your training, such as a digital library, complementary reading, summaries with key ideas, self-assessment tests, etc.
Competency-based learning
This is the differential element of our university. We call it UNIR’s Footprint, and it refers to exclusive modules. They have been created specifically to improve the necessary skills that managers in any sector will need to master teams and situations of all kinds: leadership skills, effective internal and external communication, individual and group planning, etc.
Follow-up and networking
- UNIR Mentor: will be in contact with you from day one by phone and email to support you with any questions you may have.
- Teachers: will follow your progress and help you whenever you need it through group coaching, individual feedback and in the joint exam preparation session.
- Networking: you will establish relationships with people from all over the world with common interests in discussion spaces, expert panels and chats that will allow you to make a professional list of contacts.
Personalized learning
To ensure that you obtain the right learning experience, in this MBA in English at UNIR, we create homogeneous groups in terms of professional experience, although heterogeneous in terms of the degree of origin. We are the only online university that creates high-performance teams.

Evaluation system

- Continuous evaluation through assessment tests, student participation in forums, debates and other collaborative media, and the resolution of practical cases.
- Online and in-person exams at the end of each term. You can choose in each subject and choose if you want to take them from your computer or face-to-face at the official UNIR exam centers.
- Master’s Dissertation.
