The best study house

I studied at Simón Bolívar University from 2005, until 2011; obtaining the title of Chemical Engineer. For me, it is one of the best study houses. I met the best teachers, they have a well-known library, many areas of study, which are important for the development of the student career. My work achievements I owe to that university.

Ucab the best university in Venezuela

The catholic university andres bello is one of the best in Venezuela, being ranked 65 of the best in the world, all this is due to the academic excellence that has maintained despite the crisis we are experiencing in recent years, the professionals who have graduated in this house of study are recognized nationally and internationally. Being a student of ing is a great pride because they teach you an important tool at this moment, which is the ability not to be a professional over the crowd, but to excel among others and achieve all our goals and be successful
