I want to go to Uniandes. How should I apply?
Calls for incoming students are open 3 times a year as follows:
In September of the previous year, apply to study during the first/spring semester of the following year in Uniandes (January - May)
In March, apply for the inter-semester period or summer schools (June - July)
In February, apply to carry out studies in the second/fall semester of the year in Uniandes (August - December)
What does the application process look like?
Nomination: Your nomination must be made by the mobility office of your home university through our Move On platform. Our partners will receive a username and password to complete this form for the dates established for the nomination.
Application: During this stage, students should prepare all required documentation to apply to Universidad de los Andes. These digital files are uploaded onto the Move On application form following the instructions. This process must be completed before our application deadline. If you come as an exchange student but we do not have your nomination, your application will not be considered.
Admission: Once you have fulfilled all of the requirements before the established Uniandes deadlines, you will receive an official response from Uniandes confirming that you were accepted or denied. If accepted, you will receive the admission letter that will allow you to carry out the corresponding visa processes.
