The University of the Andes of Mérda Venezuela is a macro society of 50,000 students and 50,000 workers, which welcomes people from all states and some of the world. It is listed as the best university in the country next to the UCV in Caracas. It is a house of studies whose physical spaces are fragmented and distributed throughout the metropolitan area of the Andean capital. It has perhaps the widest variety of careers in Venezuela. It is an important center for experimental scientific research, production and cultivation of artists, athletes and visionaries. It has its own means of social communication, transportation, habitas, public places and entertainment; in addition to abundant spaces for culture such as libraries, studios, theaters, galleries among others. Our house of studies is waiting for you to become part of the great motor family of Venezuela and the world of the world. With more than two centuries training professionals, our great house has become bigger and bigger with each graduate who has left his mark; and reciprocally, those of us who have passed through the classroom will enjoy a level of recognition that transcends borders and improves everything it touches. – José Bourrillon.
