What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0000553) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 68 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.3★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Colombia yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

💬 Student Reviews

Real reviews from students.

David Arturo Mendoza

At an educational level, this university has a long way to go. Unfortunately, more is invested in advertising than in research. The university's facilities are good, the new building is very modern, and the teaching staff in some programs is very good, except in some cases where recent graduates are hired. It needs more green spaces.

Valeria Cobos

The university prioritizes money over student education. All they care about is students repeating courses over and over, while professors neglect their classes. The service and response to complaints are terrible. If you're considering studying medicine at Uniboyaca, don't waste your time and money.

José Miguel Mahecha Rodriguez

A university that rewards mediocrity, where students who are doing well, passing their courses on a regular basis, suffer abuse from professors, administrators, and other students who fail a course three or four times. A university that cares only about money, not academic excellence.

Pedro Enrique Jimenez Farfan

With national and international institutional accreditation, offering undergraduate and postgraduate programs in different fields at a lower cost than similar institutions, with the advantages of being located in a small city with a lower cost of living.

Lizeth Giraldo

The advising is terrible. I'm a virtual accounting student, and the support through channels like WhatsApp, phone calls, and email is awful. It's unbelievable that I've been trying to get a receipt to pay for the semester for over a week. …

dmichael14_ciber

I would like to transfer to this university, but I see that it's not a good option for me. First, because of your comments, and second, they don't validate courses with a grade below 3.5. They only validate courses with a grade of 3.5 or …

Saenp Solers

For anyone who wants to study medicine, you should know that the education is terrible. The "tutors," the people in charge of "helping" students throughout their studies, are cynical, cold, and almost brainless. This is illogical since …

Mariana Diaz

I'm a student. You can go up to four weeks without a teacher, and when they hire one, they're outdated. Some teachers just sit in and don't teach the class, and no matter how much you complain, the institution DOESN'T LISTEN TO THE …

RAFAEL SÁNCHEZ CUERVO

It's a university with a modern campus (Tunja) and good technology. Many of its programs aren't offered by other local universities and are receiving high-quality accreditation, making it a good option for studying. …

Yamit Cardenas

I am a student at the university and I know that it has some shortcomings, but I also find that it has professors of high academic quality, but it should focus on research to train more well-rounded professionals.

The education is terrible, the teachers are outdated, and they're just trying to squeeze money out of everyone.

Doctors mistreat students and don't teach; everything falls to the students from the 5th semester onwards; the tutor is just a name
