UNAB campus
The city campus of UNAB provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Bucaramanga has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The school has a library where students can do their homework or just relax. Not only locals study at UNAB, but also students from other countries. The variety of cultures represented broadens the horizons of students and fills student life with all sorts of activities, the purpose of which is cultural exchange.
If you want to stay in Colombia after graduation, one of your options is to apply for a work visa. To do this, you need to get an offer from an employer. We talk about other options for immigration in our article.
