    Improving Educational Experiences to Improve Society: Putting Humanity at the Centre

    This is the third of a series of articles by Dr. Beata Fröhlich, LLM (UCL), Dean of Marbella International University Centre (MIUC), an exclusive academic partner of the University of West London.

    I was drawn to MIUC by their commitment to providing education and cultural experiences in addition to the latest in learning technologies and techniques to ensure engaging and relevant lectures and special programs not found in traditional settings.

    Here’s a list of extracurricular programmes we have created to give students access to understanding and skills that extend that classroom to include important trends, ideas, market disruptions, and next-level movements in the business and humanity worlds.

    • Accounting Bootcamps
    • Financial Math and Financial Markets
    • Financial Literacy
    • Cryptocurrency Workshops
    • Investment Academy
    • AI Practice Academy
    • Start-Up School,
    • Business and Geopolitics
    • Marketing Master Classes
    • Web Design and Storytelling

    These and other workshops are led by senior leaders across various fields, providing MIUC students with real-world insights into what it takes to succeed professionally.

    The diverse range of activities and experiences supports students in becoming independent learners, striving for high standards of performance.

    Where Our Graduates Find Their Careers

    Current students can connect with our active alumni network. MIUC’s successful alumni have gone on to make an impact around the world, becoming CEOS and directors, studying PhDs and creating non-profits, just to name a few. Having access to such a strong community of leaders, students will always find support and guidance.

    Many of our graduates have successfully founded their own businesses, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the region.

    Others have pursued careers with companies such as Amazon, Carlsberg Group, Banco Santander, and Saint Laurent. Some alumni have continued their academic journey by enrolling at prestigious institutions such as King’s College London, University College London, and New York University.

    MIUC International Community

    By attracting students and faculty from over 90 countries, MIUC international community fosters a diverse and inclusive environment, promoting intercultural understanding and dialogue within the local area. MIUC´s partnerships with local businesses and organisations have boosted the regional economy, created employment opportunities, and enhancing the reputation of Marbella as an educational hub.

    Our safe campus, located on the Golden Mile in Marbella—the warmest climate in continental Europe—is home to an international community and is in close proximity to Málaga TechPark.

    At MIUC, we stay ahead of the curve, focussing on teaching what artificial intelligence cannot—nurturing curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, logic, reasoning, and essential soft skills. Additionally, we prepare future CEOs to manage AI effectively alongside their human teams.

    In the era of globalisation, digitisation and the lengthening of working careers, MIUC, through our programmes and cutting-edge methodologies, equip the next generation of leaders with the necessary skills and knowledge to be ready to face all the challenges awaiting them throughout their careers. We stay ahead of change.

    The experience, knowledge, and research contributions of the faculty continue to drive change both at MIUC and across the globe.

    MIUC will continue to serve society through innovation and academic activities that address the new challenges of our time. Education is the long-term solution for making the world a better place.

    Together, we will inspire people with ambition and learn to change the world.

    Challenging the World Through Education: Marbella International University Centre’s Innovative Approach to Higher Education

    In this series of articles by Dr Beata Fröhlich, LLM (UCL), Dean of Marbella International University Centre, shares her vision for combining the highest quality education with enlightening cultural experiences.

    Inspiring Minds: Transforming Undergraduate and Graduate Education in Marbella, Spain

    First in a three-part series of provocative articles by Dr Beata Fröhlich, LLM (UCL), Dean of Marbella International University Centre (MIUC), an exclusive academic partner of the University of West London (UWL).

    UWL has long been respected as one of the most effective universities centered around preparing students for successful and meaningful careers.

    The UWL was originally established in 1860, and offers UK degrees from London in Marbella, Spain, at the popular MIUC.

    Named the ¨Best university for Student Experience and Teaching Quality in the UK, 2024¨ (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024).

    Our mission at MIUC 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.

    Providing numerous educational opportunities is the core obligation we owe to future generations.

    Founded on the revolutionary idea that education should extend beyond borders, MIUC embarked on its journey as an ambitious international institution eleven years ago. The diverse MIUC environment — student body, faculty, and staff— comprising over 97 countries — reflects our commitment to inclusion and the demand for 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.

    As even the largest traditional institutions fail to ensure their graduates receive offers from businesses, non-profits and NGOs, and other organisations, the faculty and staff at MIUC ensure a direct line of sight for students so they can begin their careers and thrive immediately after graduation or choose to continue their education and earn graduate degrees.

    In my next article, I will share more about what makes MIUC an innovator and how we blend a strong traditional curriculum and ways to study with non-traditional programmes designed specifically for today’s students and generations to come.
