Universidad Central de Venezuela - UCV
speciality: Psychology

The UCV is the first university in Venezuela, as it is the oldest. Its creation dates back to the colonial era, a period when it was a religious institution. Over time, during the independence period, it changed its name and location, becoming the preeminent university in Venezuela, a place we all aspire to attend due to its high academic quality, democratic values, and critical spirit.
It is an autonomous and public university.
The education we receive is wonderful, with excellent facilities such as the Library building and the Aula Magna, an auditorium with excellent acoustics where we received our degrees. The UCV was designed by the great architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva. It features famous works of art such as the sculpture called “Shepherd of the Clouds,” which is a university icon.
All of us at the UCEB are proud of our institution. Despite budgetary difficulties and low teacher pay, it still remains among the best in Latin America.
I was happy during my student years. It’s worth noting that I graduated as a school psychologist in 1997. The best teachers were incredibly talented, both personally and academically. And thanks to the training I received from my professors, I try to emulate the best of them. I’ve applied this as a psychology professor at another university.

I love studying here. There’s so much to learn, and the level is very high. I’m pursuing a master’s degree in women’s studies and have learned about theories and approaches I’d never heard of before. Recommended!
