Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México - UNAM (reviews)

Great environment to develop your personal skills. Sports, languages, cinema and concerts are available for very low costs or free. You have plenty careers to choose from in many faculties congregated in what is called “Ciudad Universitaria”. Class schedules are very adaptable and if you come from other States or Countries, there are many places for students to live nearby. Teachers have plenty of professional experience and depending on the career you choose, you will find available spaces outside Mexico City to study certain modules. I think the University just misses some entrepreneurship modules.

I did the bachelor’s in music composition and was a unique experience. The professors were amazing and the general level of the music department is really high.
You will learn a lot of genres of music from medieval to the XX’s century.

Such love for this University. Changed my life in all levels.
Great teachers, great buildings, all aspects are incredible. I came as a person with too many expectations and now I’m so happy to study at that school

UNAM is the biggest University in Latín América. The main campus locales in the south part of Mexico city is beautiful. UNAM has cultural zone there are cinemas and a conceder hall. Also torre is a botanical garden

UNAM is Mexico´s biggest and most important university. It is difficult to get in, but once you are in it is up to you to have a great experience and to learn a lot. Teachers are free to teach in their own ways, and that makes it much more interesting and free, but also you can find teachers that don’t do a good job. UNAM´s campus is beautiful and there are tons of extracurricular activities you can engage in. It has changed my life. It is not a residential college!!

It has become a symbol of opportunities for many students, although the supply and demand of the institution are still disparate, the quality of education and the complementation of new school programs prevail. There are new educational offers with which the Autonomous University of Mexico can compete with large universities of international renown. In recent years the name of this educational institution has been involved in various serious social problems, such as gender violence, femicide, abuse of harmful substances within the schools, among others. For this, an improvement that could propose, is to improve the methods of selection of applicants, which allow the safety of students and teachers.

It's not so much that I say so, but the Sociology career is, I feel, the most complete of all. My teachers might have made me feel like a guinea pig at first, but as the semesters progressed, I began to appreciate the knowledge that I practice today. The sociologist graduated from the UNAM is not only recognized anywhere in the world where he is seen, but he knows how to propose, be proactive, work as a team and look for ways to make his profession shine like no other. Being a sociologist graduated from the UNAM has allowed me to work in several places, although almost always it has been more in the framework of teaching than research, which is one of the most extensive that my career has. Thanks to what I have learned, I have known how to move, give constructive criticism and specialize in knowing more about the social and cultural phenomena that shape our entire society. And although I have also worked with other non-governmental organizations, where it is worthwhile to be is right in the classroom, teaching aspiring young people to be better professionals of our career or related to it.

I believe that the UNAM definitely deserves to be among the best, not only is the university that offers more careers in the country, but also has many schools and facilities and the vast majority keeps them with good technology if necessary or remodeling continuously according to the needs. In addition, the University offers scholarships, exchanges, medical service, transportation (each campus has transportation for visits outside the campus if necessary and there is also the PumaBus to move within University City), also promotes sports, science and art academic. One as a student can join virtually any area of ​​interest. To make matters worse, the annual fee is just $ 0.25, so the University gives you a lot for a minimum amount of tuition.

In general, the universities could now be considered as factories in which individuals with a certain degree of knowledge are produced in certain areas that will be useful in their working life, that is, knowledge that is reproduced by and for the market. The university was not conceived under a concept of utility, but rather its mission was to safeguard knowledge and knowledge, which if carefully considered has been left in a very inferior plane to the main objective of reproduction. The UNAM is not excluded from this commission of the market with the universities. For more excellence with which you can carry out your mission, there are even important exceptions. The ineptitude of teachers for which it is well worth asking if they have concluded a certain level of education or at least refers to questioning why are you teaching? And this is no more than an effect of another serious problem, the administration is dominated by an ineptitude even greater than that of the professors in turn corrupted. I repeat, the excellence within its framework is good, it has a wide catalog and a high level of careers to develop as well as cultural and sports activities.

The political science program is focused on developing a critical think and deep sense of social perspective in the study of politics. Since the first semester, you will start to read the political theory classics and writing a lot of essays that will improve your reading comprehension and ideological background. As the semesters advance, you will have the opportunity of focus on your interest areas, with a large number of optional classes even from other programs in the same or other faculties.
The level of debate and discussion in the classroom it is characteristic of the political and social sciences faculty, and its the thing that I like the most of my education there.
I will highly recommend this program if you are interested in discovery and learn how political systems work, how people interact in order to achieve a public goal and how society is involved in the public administration.
