Study at Marbella International University Centre for UK Degree

Marbella International University Centre (MIUC) is an exclusive academic partner of the University of West London (UWL); the “Career University”. The UWL was originally established in 1860. We offer UK degrees from this prestigious university here in Marbella, Spain. UWL is the ¨Best university for Student Experience and Teaching Quality in the UK, 2024¨ (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024). A limited number of students can participate in a semester exchange at UWL in London.

Our mission is to challenge the world through education. It is what motivates the work of everyone at MIUC; from faculty and staff, to students and alumni, to our exclusive academic partner in London. Education is fundamental to everything, from personal opportunities to world peace and prosperity. And providing numerous educational opportunities is the core obligation we owe to future generations.

Founded eleven years ago on the revolutionary idea that education should extend beyond borders, MIUC embarked on its journey as an ambitious international institution. The diverse MIUC environment — student body, faculty, and staff— comprising over 97 countries — reflects our commitment to inclusion and the demand for a more international education. We prepare our students to get ahead in today’s competitive job market, where companies are looking for candidates with diverse skills and experiences.

At MIUC we are here to give what students need to succeed in their chosen profession. In fact, our teaching courses and facilities are designed around it.

They provide students with valuable career-specific insights, expertise, and skills.
