Catholic University of Uruguay

The Universidad Católica del Uruguay was initially founded in 1882 by the first archbishop of Montevideo, Msg. Mariano Soler. Then, in 1985, the University was re opened and its management was entrusted to the Society of Jesus, becoming the first private university of the country. This plural, innovative and open to the world academic community, comprises more than eight thousand graduates from the Schools of Law, Engineering, Social Sciences, Business and Health. A perfect scenario to perform relevant and multidisciplinary research committed to acquiring higher levels of education to meet the requirements of a challenging world. The University offers a comprehensive program for students to develop their own career while moving forward in their own lives.
