What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002903) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 109 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.

The ESPOCH Higher Polytechnic School offers quality education and faculty, organizes high-level lectures, and has a welcoming and spacious auditorium. However, the external infrastructure is somewhat neglected, with worn paint. The green areas could use more cleanliness and improvement.

It's a very large student center, and at the moment, due to the situation we're going through, it looks deserted. But when students were going to their classes, it was a very active place; the coming and going of young students filled this place and its surroundings with joy.

Green spaces, very well-distributed buildings, parking spaces, common recreation areas, libraries, laboratories, food areas, swimming pool, gym, soccer fields, basketball courts and much more. This institution is equipped with all the basic requirements for students.
