Universidad de los Andes - UNIANDES Speciality : Law
programme: Law

I was left in awe of UNIANDES due to its amazingly progressive and innovative way of thinking. It was the first institution in Colombia to introduce PBL (Problem-Based Learning) in its law school. Developed by Harvard, PBL is a teaching method where students are presented with legal problems first, before learning the solutions. This approach is the complete opposite of how law has traditionally been taught in other Colombian universities. It was exhilarating, we all felt inside the courtrooms.

The beautiful campus and amazing teachers only made it better. I remember Aquiles Arrieta, our constitutional law teacher, the man who ignited my passion for civil rights and vulnerable people’s protection.

The campus is amazing, with unbelievable sports facilities, natural settings, and a great location for night crawling after exams.
