The collaboration opens up new opportunities for specialization and the development of skills for students around the world. Doctrina Qualitas activates its international ecosystem of more than twenty universities to facilitate these activities, facilitating access to European university education, taking advantage of the distance education educational model and the recognition of UNED Castellón
The Group Doctrina Qualitas (DQ) and the Associated Center to the National University of Distance Education, UNED Castellón, have driven forward a framework for international collaboration.
The initiative, promoted by Don Alejandro José Truébano Fernández, CEO of the Doctrina Qualitas Group, and Don Alejandro Ribes Ferrer, director of the UNED Associated Center in Castellón, establishes the basis for developing joint activities in University Extension, specialized training, professional updating, and academic cooperation.
The strategic scope that Doctrina Qualitas intends to give to an opportunity of great interest for thousands of Latin American students to access a Spanish public university with a wide academic offering in distance mode and costs that may prove considerably more accessible than those of numerous Spanish private universities.
Two decisive factors: economic accessibility and university distance education
Doctrina Qualitas has been able to identify two characteristics of UNED Castellón that can help to transform this situation.
The first is its nature as a Spanish public university, with a university pricing system that, depending on the degree program and the conditions applicable to each student, may represent an economically attractive alternative compared to much of the private offering.
The second is its established distance education model, which allows for the development of numerous university studies without the need to permanently move residence to Spain, although certain degrees, tests, or activities may require in-person attendance.
The combination of both factors can significantly reduce the economic and geographic barriers that make it difficult to access Spanish university studies from Latin America.
This is not only about promoting new training options, but about contributing to European university education becoming more accessible for people who, until now, considered studying at a Spanish university economically unviable.
More than twenty international universities as a connection platform with UNED Castellón
One of the main assets that Doctrina Qualitas brings to this relationship is its integrated collaboration ecosystem, with more than twenty universities and academic organizations, with a presence in countries such as the United States, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina and Panama, among others.
This structure makes it possible to bring together under a single point of contact institutions that share interests related to internationalization and the expansion of academic opportunities for their students.
Doctrina Qualitas’ intention is for these universities to have specialization training courses certified by UNED Castellón.
UNED Castellón also becomes one of the recommended reference academic destinations, from the international ecosystem of Doctrina Qualitas, for those who want to study at a Spanish public university without necessarily taking on the costs of a private university or an international relocation.
Doctrina Qualitas: a strategic ally for university internationalization
The cooperation also offers an especially interesting perspective for UNED Castellón; reducing the challenge of internationalization, thanks to reliable points of contact, knowledge of the different educational environments, institutional coordination capacity, and effective communication channels with local academic communities. These are precisely the capabilities that Doctrina Qualitas brings to its relationship with UNED Castellón.
Doctrina Qualitas offers the possibility of connecting with an ecosystem of international universities through a centralized point of contact, capable of identifying opportunities, promoting joint initiatives, and facilitating contact between institutions.
For UNED Castellón, this environment represents an opportunity to explore new academic relationships and expand the reach of its University Extension activities, always within its competencies and the corresponding authorization procedures.
University Extension, continuing education and new certification opportunities, as a basis for generating specialized professionals with professional competencies adapted to European standards
The framework agreement expressly contemplates the development of University Extension activities, professional specialization programs, congresses, conferences, seminars, conferences, workshops, and formative innovation projects.
Likewise, they may consider the issuance of diplomas or university certificates on professional specialization competencies, basic for curriculum enrichment.
This area of collaboration is especially interesting for institutions associated with Doctrina Qualitas, which will be able to identify and present to Doctrina Qualitas specialized training proposals susceptible to academic evaluation.
Doctrina Qualitas invites UNED Castellón to participate in its international ecosystem; the network of Hiapanohablantes Universities of Mundo (UHM), as part of the strategy of the Fundación Universitaria UAIII to promote European and Spanish culture.
The UHM network is conceived as a meeting space between higher education institutions that share an international vision of teaching, the exchange of knowledge, and the development of joint projects.
The inclusion of UNED Castellón makes it possible to expand the possibilities for contact with universities in different countries that are part of the UHM network and to participate in cooperation initiatives, academic encounters, and training proposals of shared interest.
A new vision of educational cooperation between Spain and Latin America
For Doctrina Qualitas, this initiative represents an evolution in its international cooperation model.
The organization considers that academic internationalization must translate into real opportunities for students and must not be limited to the signing of institutional agreements.
From this perspective, the relationship with UNED Castellón makes it possible to drive two complementary objectives: on the one hand, to promote new University Extension activities and specialized training; on the other hand, to encourage a larger number of Latin American students to learn about the possibilities for access to the Spanish public university.
An alliance with a future-oriented vocation
The collaboration between Doctrina Qualitas and UNED Castellón represents a relationship with the potential to generate academic projects, international initiatives, and new opportunities for training.
The main objective of Doctrina Qualitas and UNED Castellón is to contribute to professional strengthening through specialization while also enhancing access to the Spanish public university as a real, economically close possibility for many Latin American students.
