What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0001533) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 110 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.8★ — 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.

Martha Patricia Mendez Montalvo

Don't waste your money. This university is good academically, but administratively, it's the worst thing you can expect. They take months to issue a certificate, and then they don't respond when my "potential employer" wanted to verify it.
Once you pay your tuition, they don't care what happens to you.
