In recent years, UMA developed an expansion plan regarding fields of study and infrastructure. Thus, after the Campus of Ejido was established, the University expanded towards the western district and founded the Campus of Teatinos, which is initially composed of School of Medicine, School of Humanities, and School of Science. Now the Campus has gradually developed and it offers a full range of academic studies and services.

UMA has two campuses in Málaga. However, some of the Universitys activities are carried out in other locations spread in the city and province. Thus, this network of knowledge is present in key points such as the citys business center, Andalusias Technology Park, and in other cities such as Ronda and Antequera.
