Basic information and contact details for Universidad de los Andes, Venezuela

institution

Established as Seminario de San Buenaventura in 1785, Venezuela*s University of the Andes is one of the oldest and largest higher education institutions in the country. Second only to the Central University of Venezuela in longevity, it was granted degree-awarding powers in 1806 and given full university status four years later.

A public university situated in the city of M谷rida, it now boasts more than 10 faculties spread across three Venezuelan states. Most libraries and faculties are located across M谷rida province, but some are based in the neighbouring states of T芍chira and Trujillo.

ULA is usually considered one of the most prestigious research institutions in Venezuela and one of the best 50 universities in Latin America.

It briefly moved to the coastal city of Maracaibo in the 1810s following an earthquake that hit M谷rida. In the past, it has also been known as the University of M谷rida and Western University.

M谷rida is the capital of the municipality of Libertador, and the state of M谷rida, and is one of the main cities in the Venezuelan Andes. It was founded in 1558 by Captain Juan Rodr赤guez Su芍rez,

ULA*s classes are taught in Spanish. It has a wide range of sports clubs and student groups involved in music, theatre and ballet. It should not be confused with the newer University of the Andes in Santiago, Chile.
