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

Central University of Venezuela: The house that overcomes the shadows.

The Central University of Venezuela is an autonomous institution of higher education located in the capital city of Venezuela. It is characterized by its good quality in terms of teachers and good students, both parties being very committed and competent. The graduates of this "house of studies" are characterized by being bright and comprehensive, are professionals and excellently manage their area of study, having even greater knowledge compared to the standards of students of the same degrees graduated from other universities nationwide. In the UCV there are many student movements that promote politics throughout the university, being one of the most political universities in the country. The student of this university is very requested at work level. Finally, I consider it a very good university because of its quality of staff, students and teachers and can really be considered as "the house that overcomes the shadows".

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.
