Andorra Aviation Academy (AAA) is a private institution offering a unique aviation degree programme, established through a 2015 agreement between aviation enthusiasts, the Government of Andorra, and the Universitat d'Andorra. Programmes lead to dual-degree qualifications combining theoretical aviation studies with practical flight training, delivered as a partnership with UdA so graduates receive a recognised university credential alongside aviation certifications. Despite Andorra having no commercial airport of its own (the nearest are in Spain and France), the Academy serves as a notable English-medium specialised institution. Instruction is primarily in English to align with international aviation industry standards. A reminder that even microstates can host meaningful specialised higher education when government and private partners align on niche needs.

The Universitat d'Andorra (UdA) is the only public university in the Principality of Andorra and the country's primary higher education institution. Higher education in Andorra formally began in 1988 with the founding of the School of Nursing and the School of Computer Science, which were consolidated into UdA in 1997. Located in Sant Julià de Lòria, UdA delivers Bologna three-cycle degrees (Bàtxelor, Màster, Doctorat) primarily in Catalan, with courses also in French, Spanish, and English reflecting Andorra's multilingual character as a co-principality (jointly headed by the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell in Spain). UdA is fully integrated into the European Higher Education Area, so degrees are recognised across Europe. Programs include nursing, computer science, education, business administration, law, communication, tourism, and an extensive virtual studies division. Andorra's small population (~80,000) means UdA is necessarily a small institution, but with notably high graduate employability.
