The university is part of a small group of institutions of higher education in Colombia with High Quality Institutional Accreditation.
The university offers a variety of undergraduate, graduate and PhD programmes, including: business administration, nursing, physiotherapy, industrial engineering, law, medicine, gastronomy, philosophy, economics and international finance.
Courses are offered both on campus and virtually to enable students to find a course to suit and fit in with their lives.
Recently, the School of Engineering, alongside the School of Medicine and the University Hospital, developed a fast-track prototype of an invasive mechanical ventilator, capable of providing the respiratory support required by Covid-19 patients in respiratory failure to preserve life.
