About Universidad del Atlantico

Basic information and contact details for Universidad del Atlantico

Universidad del Atlántico is situated in the northern Colombian city of Barranquilla, near the Caribbean Sea. 

The university was conceived by the Colombian philosopher Julio Enrique Bianco for the advancement of the coastal population of Colombia. It admitted its first students in 1946.

Today, undergraduates study at one of 10 faculties: architecture; fine arts; basic sciences; educational sciences; economic sciences; humanities; engineering; health sciences; legal sciences; and chemistry and pharmacy.

Students tend to live in halls of residence off-campus or in private rental apartments. Halls of residence often include large communal spaces, as well as TV, meals and cooking and laundry facilities. 

As part of a university internationalisation strategy, students are invited to join ORI club, run by the Office of International Relations. This offers access to information about training, scholarships and exchanges overseas, as well as the opportunity to volunteer as the partner for a visiting foreign exchange student. And ORI club members are offered access to free language courses in English, German, French, Portuguese and Korean.
