What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002466) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 26 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.6★ — 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 Mexico 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.

Issac Silva

It's a university focused on medicine, but it also offers an engineering degree. Most of the students are medical students, as there aren't many medical students in the university. Apparently, systems engineering will no longer be offered there in a few years.

alejandro medellin

This was where I received my COVID vaccination, and the organization and attention I received from all the departments involved in the process were excellent.

It's true that the classrooms and laboratories need remodeling, but there are already new spaces and a clinic/hospital is coming soon.

GUILLERMO AGUILAR FLORES

I liked it. The staff's attention. I hope they continue like this for the education and development of Mexico.
