The Higher School of Computer Engineering at UNED (Spanish: Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, National University of Distance Education) is an institute of higher education in Spain, with an extensive network of collaborating institutions, that teaches and issues degrees in Computer Science Engineering, Computer Engineering, IT Engineering and Artificial Intelligence Engineering (AI), as well as masters and PhDs.

History

The Higher School of Computer Engineering at UNED was established in 1991. Its creation was the response to a growing demand for computer science professionals with different degrees not only focused in computing but also in industry, business and research. In 2001 the school expanded its academic offering to include master's degrees. In 2010–2011 the academic content was adapted to the requirements of the European Higher Education Program, replacing the former degrees.1 In the 2026-2027 academic year, The Higher School of Computer Engineering at UNED will expand its academic offering with a new Degree in Artificial Intelligence (AI) Engineering.

Academic offerings currently include the following:

  • Computer Science Engineering (five academic courses)
  • Degree in Artificial Intelligence Engineering (AI) (four academic courses)
  • Degree in Computer Engineering (four academic courses)
  • Degree in Information and Communication Technologies Engineering – IT Engineering (four academic courses)
