A total of 20 studies involving 5,656 participants (363 faculty members and 5,293 students) were identified, addressing how the implementation of UDL and its impact on students can be enhanced through appropriate faculty training. The findings suggest that specific training in UDL increases teaching competence and promotes inclusive and effective pedagogical practices. Additionally, the effectiveness of UDL in students’ academic experiences was analyzed, demonstrating that UDL-based pedagogical approaches improve learning, accessibility, and participation for all students, including those with disabilities. This study highlights the importance of integrating UDL into faculty training and its positive impact on the university learning environment.
