Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia - UNED Speciality : Psychology
programme: Psychology

What I love about the UNED is its flexibility and that you generally only take one exam per subject, not having to waste so much time per week on assignments, which makes it perfect to combine with work or other obligations. What I like less is that passing the subject usually consists of studying a single huge manual (550 plus pages) and then taking a multiple-choice exam, which I think does not encourage too much to have the necessary skills to perform as a real professional (perhaps much more focused on continuing in academia). In any case, they continue to update their methods, technologies and didactic strategies.

As a neurodivergent individual, who an old-school classroom set up overwhelm me, this university is what I’ve been looking for all my life as I’m the once setting my pace and doing the work at my own pace.

Studying at the UNED allows me to work and do other activities, but it is very hard having to learn a 700-page book to answer 30 questions and the entire course depends only on one exam. If you are disciplined and organized you can pass; It should also be noted that the level of difficulty of the psychology exams is very high, there are many questions to catch the student.
