Universidad Loyola Andalucía is a private university promoted by the Society of Jesus and founded in 2010.

It teaches on campuses in Seville and Córdoba, with a further site in Granada, and presents research and the transfer of knowledge as tools for social change. Its Doctoral School runs five doctoral programmes: Systems and Sustainable Engineering, Data Science, Inclusive and Sustainable Development, Psychology and Theology.

These are official degrees recognised across the European Union, and each doctoral student is assigned a tutor from the first day and follows a plan of training and research activities. Candidates are normally expected to arrive from an official research-oriented master's, and the school offers its own Master in Research Methods Applied to the Social Sciences as that preparatory step.

Doctoral study can be completed full-time in about four years or part-time in about seven, in a blended in-person and online format.

Postgraduate applicants sit an online admission test on set dates through the year, then reserve a place and enrol. Loyola Executive adds short professional programmes for managers, such as a six-month course on leading digital acceleration held in Seville.

The university states a long-term goal of becoming a doctoral research university in the social sciences and technology.
