Check the university website for up-to-date information on prices and available scholarships.
When choosing an educational institution, it is necessary to take into account additional costs: accommodation, transportation, educational materials, meals and personal expenses.

UCP campus
The campus of UCP is located in Risaralda. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The educational institution has its own library. Here, students do their homework or just have a good time reading an interesting book. The exchange of intercultural experience occupies a special place in training at UCP. The educational institution regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs and organizes various joint events.
