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

One of the best

I can consider that it is one of the best universities in Venezuela, good functioning of the facilities and excellent teachers. Incredible environment to develop and very good areas for students.

Not the best moment for this university

At this moment, this is not the best university to study on Venezuela, it doesn't have enough teachers for all the subjects, because of that, there are students teaching, they are not even graduated. Also they reduced the career from 5 to 4 years, that wasn't good because now we don't see some important subjects that help on the field of engineering. I don't recommend it at this moment.
