  • The Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) is a public university located in downtown Mexico City.

    Founded in 1551, UNAM is the oldest university in Latin America. With a total student population of approximately 337,000, it is also one of the largest universities in the world.

    UNAM’s student body accounts for one-tenth of all undergraduate students in Mexico, it grants half of all doctorates awarded, and most scientific, social and humanities research in Mexico is carried out by its researchers.

  • Mexico City is famous for its incredible culinary scene and buzzing downtown area. The city displays the historical heritage of the colonial-era while maintaining its contemporary edge.

    The streets are lined with colourful murals, old-school cantinas and taco bars, fascinating museums and ancient canals. The city embodies Mexican culture, attracting young and old from all around the world. In that way, it is a city made for an exchange student—it has that perfect mixture of culture and fun.

  • Exchange students who are interested in brushing up on their Spanish language skills are welcome to participate in a six week Spanish Language and Mexican Culture course offered by the CEPE (Centro de Enseñanza para Extranjeros).
