What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002449) — 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.

Alexander LUNA NIETO

A university of higher education excellence. I have had the opportunity to meet graduates from this institution who possess outstanding human and professional qualities. I highly recommend it for its various undergraduate and graduate academic programs.

Samuel Lozano

The worst telephone service I've ever experienced. I called them over 12 times in the span of an hour. There's no one working in accounting to answer calls, they don't answer the extensions, they don't answer calls. THE WORST customer service ever.

Cesar Herrera

The magnificent facilities of ICESI University—exploring the classrooms, the grounds, and its expansive gardens—are a wonderful experience for visitors, students, and alumni alike. Returning to your alma mater and reminiscing about all the …

Mao Mojica

One of the few companies in Cali that has such a well-structured biosafety protocol that they've even developed an app to measure on-site occupancy and even to set up internal communities to close fences if there's a possible contagion. Admirable.

Jon Wonders

It's a good university, but I had the misfortune of having the worst chemistry professor in my first semester. I feel lost and also feel that the university doesn't provide support for students who struggle to adapt to the "active learning" …

Jaime Higuita

With what they charge per semester, it could be a better place to study. They have very arrogant and petulant professors, they lack the willingness to teach, they have fewer lectures, and they need to improve the teaching models for young …

Luis Felipe Wuman

A place where they don't care about students' mental health, the lack of ethics, and the failure to implement their physical and mental health, inclusion, and non-discrimination programs make this university simply expensive. The only …

María Ximena López

In a way, the system makes you learn using your own learning methods. The individual should, and usually is, interested in what is covered in each class. ICESI teaches you to learn independently so you can innovate methods in any area.
