What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002292) — 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 4.7★ — 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 Ecuador 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.

Premium University located at a premium area. Facilities are top class. They include a huge and well served library, internet access, sporting compound, a variety of laboratories and specialized classrooms, exchange residence, parking and document shop.

Alfredo Noboa C

I'm not giving it 5 stars because I didn't use all the facilities to form a critical opinion about the institution. But after seeing the existing infrastructure for just a few minutes, I got the impression that it's very welcoming; it looks …

Nabor Navarrete

I want to let the administration know in writing about this very specific case. Today, I was kicked out of the main entrance by two individuals who were parking in front of the door. They told me that this area was reserved for taxi drivers …

Veronica Perez

I must proudly say that it was the place where I studied, and I am grateful for that, as I had the opportunity to earn degrees from other educational institutions. This is certainly a wonderful and inclusive university, both externally and …

AYLIN EMILIA TROYA OROZCO

The online format is one of the worst there is; professors don't answer emails, and student advisors give the most mediocre and incoherent answers possible. The contact center doesn't provide solutions either and often doesn't even answer …

Carlos Robles

Excellent infrastructure and service, but the process of dropping off or picking up students is somewhat problematic. There's no coordination between security guards; one stops vehicles, and the one further ahead tells you to proceed. If …

Alexandra Navarro

At the forefront of education, with state-of-the-art facilities and dedicated teachers, it is an honor to have graduated two of my children here. My eldest, Arielita Alexandra, is a doctor, and Roberto Bitar Navarro is a lawyer in the …

A private university located at the entrance to Samborondon.
Its liberal arts-based teaching model, modeled after the most prestigious universities in the United States, makes this educational institution one of the best in the region.

Efrén Avilés M.

Faculties of Economics and Business, Law and Politics, Tourism, Medicine, Architecture, Liberal Arts, Communication, Systems, Postgraduate Studies, among others. It has cafeterias, a chapel, event halls, parking, etc.

Dayanara Armijos

Poor communication between departments and internally. Long processing times for identifying and processing student payments. The education is very good, but they need to improve their administrative management.

DR. VICTOR M. CARRION VARAS

The campus is modern. The academic level is excellent. I attended the Vaccination Center. Excellent service. I took 20 minutes for the vaccine and 30 minutes for observation without any problems or symptoms.

ULTRA SIETE

Terrible organization. If you don't have proof of passing the course, they make you repeat it. Their records are useless. It seems like they're running a business, taking advantage of parents' finances.

Happyfeet

Their slogan is not in vain, (one of the best in South America) good environment and infrastructure, good support in the medical field, good service in their clinic, we had a friend with excellent care.

Daniel Baque

One of the most prestigious schools in Guayaquil. It is located in the north of the city, on Avenida Juan Tanga Marengo. It also houses the Holy Spirit School for boys and girls. Highly recommended.

Cindy Molina

An excellent environment for students. It's a fully equipped center where students can spend time in relaxation areas, a library, a restaurant, and a museum. The user experience is quite remarkable.
