Medellín is the second largest city in Colombia and is regarded as a centre of commercial, industrial and technological development. Medellín is well known in the fields of finance, art, culture, communication, fashion and entertainment, which is why the city offers students many opportunities.

Geographically, the city is located in a valley surrounded by green mountains, which has earned it the nickname "City of Eternal Spring". Incidentally, the average temperature is around 23°C (73°F).

Medellín is the first Colombian city to have an extensive public transport system. This includes buses, the metro and, for example, cable cars. Thanks to this network, all areas of the city are easily accessible. The university is located right next to the Aguacatala station on Metro Line A.
