What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002426) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 106 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.4★ — 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.

Mc BushPig

The worst university, its teachers are the worst. Even though you pay for it, the arrogant teachers treat you like they're doing you a favor. On top of that, when you need help, technical support is useless; they seem too lazy to even inform you. I've had professors who don't even let you talk to them.

The university campus is somewhat outdated, so the infrastructure isn't universally accessible. Some modifications have been made to improve accessibility, but there are no fully accessible routes. Stairs always obstruct movement. The area …

Terrible customer service. They're quick to insist on payment for the master's program, but when it comes to expediting the platform access process and classes, they're abysmal. It's been three days and I still haven't been able to access …

A university that aspires to excellence, yet lacks administrative organization and its infrastructure leaves much to be desired for a top-tier, and private, university. However, it is worth highlighting the achievements it has made thanks …

I've been complaining for 5 hours about the lack of electricity in Punta Fría, Piruápolis, in the middle of summer. The crew is busy with the fireworks display, and the neighbors don't seem to care, nor does the power company.

Fernando RodSan

Overall, the atmosphere is good. The classrooms, courts, and chapel are in acceptable condition, and maintenance is meticulous. However, the condition of some of the restrooms leaves much to be desired for a private university.

Enrique Villacres

Very grateful for the attention, very well organized, I was able to receive my second dose. This is in contrast to many vaccination sites that lack a sense of good planning. Without disrespecting the evidence, we refer to it.

Mafer M.J.

It was an excellent university years ago, unfortunately, poor management caused the university's prestige to decline, iconic UTE programs were eliminated, and excellent teachers were dismissed.

Lissette Casillas

It's bankrupt again, the Rector's administration is terrible, several programs have been closed, teachers have been fired and they still haven't received their severance pay.

They never answer, they don't provide extensions, and I have problems with my account, but they don't seem to care about the people who use their phone service.

A university that charges for everything, even breathing, and doesn't give students what they deserve.
