The Universidad Industrial de Santander welcomes its undergraduate students with a renovated campus and a wide range of academic offerings.
With the beginning of the 2025-2 academic semester, more than 16 thousand undergraduate students resumed their activities at the Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS), one of the most recognized institutions in the country for its academic excellence and commitment to comprehensive education.
Distributed in five faculties and 27 schools, students will be able to access a wide range of programs in areas such as engineering, basic sciences, health and human sciences. This academic diversity seeks to offer young people an environment conducive to learning, research and personal development.
One of the highlights of this new academic period is the remarkable transformation of the central campus, which today is consolidated as a true ‘University Park’. With greener, more comfortable and renovated spaces, the UIS infrastructure has been a source of pride among students. “The courts are very well maintained,” commented Linda Juliana Soto Rueda, a fifth-semester Chemical Engineering student.
The experience goes beyond the can on the can is the can can can is the can can can. For Susana Mejía, a law student, studying at UIS is “a privilege”. She highlighted the green and wide spaces of the campus, and affirmed: “I love the UIS, it is divine and beautiful”. For her part, Luisa Fernanda García, a sixth semester student of Mechanical Engineering, valued the advances in infrastructure: “I really like the new things that have been delivered, such as the Institute of Languages, the maintenance of the sports fields. I love to enter the university and see it as beautiful as it has always been”.
Engineer Iván Augusto Rojas Camargo, head of the Physical Plant Division, explained that the central campus has 25 hectares under constant development. “It is a maintained campus, correct, functioning in the right way,” he said, highlighting the effort to offer dignified and adequate spaces for quality education.
In addition to its academic strength, the UIS promotes extracurricular activities that complement the training of its students, such as research initiatives, cultural and sports projects, reaffirming its commitment to an education that forms not only professionals, but upstanding and committed citizens.
Finally, Diego Armando Acevedo Prada, seventh semester student of Civil Engineering, left a message that summarizes the spirit of belonging that characterizes the UIS community: “We must take care of the campus facilities, because we all live together in this place, we spend most of our time in this space; then I invite you to take care of the university that is for everyone”. His words invite reflection and collective commitment to the welfare and preservation of this academic environment that forms us, unites us and projects us into the future.
