About Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras
Basic information and contact details for Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras
Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras began life in 1845, when its founders set up a study society in the name Society of the Enterprising Genius and Good Taste. The following year, it was renamed the Literary Academy of Tegucigalpa – referring to the Honduran capital, where it was located. And in 1847, it was officially inaugurated as the University of Honduras. Its current name was bestowed by the military junta government, in 1957.
Today, it has nine campuses, across the main cities of Honduras. It also provides distance- and virtual-learning options. The two main campuses, however, are in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula.
There are 150 study programmes, offered by 10 faculties: social sciences; chemistry and pharmacy; dentistry; legal sciences; engineering; humanities and arts; space sciences; economic, administrative and accounting sciences; sciences; and medical sciences. Each faculty has its own illustrative crest, featuring, for example, a satellite for space sciences and a bee for economic, administrative and accounting sciences.
There is no on-campus accommodation available, though private providers offer hostel rooms for students. Most students opt for private shared apartments around the university perimeter.
Clubs range from the recreational to the competitive. University sports teams include basketball, volleyball, football and futsal.
