Fruto de la colaboración entre la UNED y la Dirección General de Instituciones Penitenciarias, la UNED viene organizando desde 2004 cursos de verano en Centros Penitenciarios. El objeto de estos cursos es profundizar en la mejora de la oferta académica universitaria en el ámbito penitenciario.
Since 2008, summer courses have been open to the participation of UNED students enrolled in the academic year in which the corresponding summer course edition is held. Likewise, since 2012 members of the staff of Penitentiary Institutions can attend these courses. The purpose of this opening is to contribute to the normalization of the academic activity of the university in prisons through a set of courses that meet the same characteristics as those proposed in our general program. The joint completion of courses between internal and external students is an opportunity to improve a different and complex educational reality.
