About Universidad de Colima

Basic information and contact details for Universidad de Colima

institution

The University of Colima is a Mexican public higher education institution with several campuses across the state of Colima.

Founded in 1940 as the People’s University of Colima, it was granted state autonomy in 1962 and operates independently without government control.

Today, the university prides itself on its core principles of nurturing social responsibility among the local community. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses across a range of subjects, as well as some vocational and high-school level education, as is common in Mexican institutions.

The university population is large, totalling more than 26,000 students and about 2,000 academic staff. Courses are wide ranging across arts and humanities, business and administration, health and veterinary medicine, technology and social sciences.

The university has a very international student community, and prides itself on its multiculturalism, hosting events through the academic year to showcase the many nationalities and languages spoken on campus. A number of courses are taught in English, and the institution hosts student exchange programmes with a choice of one or two semesters abroad. Its official partner institution is the University Tunk Abdul Rahman in Malaysia.

The University of Colima’s mascot is the Loro – a parrot – which was chosen as a symbol of joy and intelligence.

University facilities are plentiful, and include a large library with around 100,000 publications in the centre of the city. Colima’s main university campus is a 3km walk from the historic centre, where students meet for the bar scene and nightlife.

Colima itself is in the west of Mexico on the Pacific coast, making it a popular tourist destination for access to beaches, surfing and watersports.
