I would start by saying that my university is characterized by academic rigor, the search for truth in any subject and the inclusion of everyone’s opinion. In the campus there is always a diversity of people, cultures and knowledge. It is home to students from all sectors of the country, the Andean, Caribbean, Pacific and ethnic communities. It could be said that it is a university that seeks excellence in each of its students.
However, there are still challenges to be a bridge between academic and working life. The profiles of the university’s professionals are very general and there is no distinctive factor when it comes to competing in the labor market. It is true that it depends a lot on how you have built your professional profile, but the university should be more interested in asking itself where our graduates are going and how we help them find that job.

My university career is very international, it allowed me to leave my country, study in Europe and fall in love with the international world. I was able to choose subjects of different types, such as communication, business, finance, politics. Therefore, it is a very complete career and with important elements to develop professional life. I was able to participate in different research projects, I was able to do a year of volunteering, I was able to do my internship in an international company. The classes are fun, interesting, practical and teach you about the social and political reality of the world. It also develops a creative side of the student and allows it to develop in different fields.

The Externado University of Colombia is an specialized university in social sciences degrees and with emphasis in the public service. Its very demanding not only in the academics and workloads but in the search of the personnal ethics and compromise with compliance.
