UCV campus
The city campus of UCV provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Caracas has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The educational institution has its own library. Here, students do their homework or just have a good time reading an interesting book. UCV regularly accepts students for international exchange programs, providing both local and international students with the opportunity to come into contact with different cultures and gain unique experience.
