What News and University Data Can I Find on the UIS Homepage?

Updated

The uis.edu.co homepage is the official entry point for Universidad Industrial de Santander. It combines current university news, institutional figures (enrollment, alumni, researchers), academic program links, campus presence information, and media channels such as UIS Television, journals, and social media. Use it to get a quick overview of the university's activity and scale; for detailed program requirements or application steps, follow the linked sections rather than relying on the homepage alone.

News and Current Affairs

The homepage surfaces recent developments from the university community under sections such as Current Affairs and UIS News. Examples of items featured there include:

  • A joint announcement by the Santander Governor's Office, HUS, and UIS on transforming facilities and strengthening healthcare in Santander.
  • The UIS rector joining the ASCUN board of directors for the 2026–2028 term.
  • A weekly news roundup labeled #LaUISqueQueremosTV.

A "See more news" link leads to the fuller news listing. This section is the fastest way to see what the university is currently announcing.

University Data: "UIS in Numbers"

The homepage includes a UIS in numbers block reporting counts for:

  • Enrolled students
  • Alumni
  • Researchers

The page labels these figures with a reference period ("* 2026 - I data"), so treat them as a snapshot tied to that term rather than a live count. The exact numbers are rendered dynamically on the page; check the block directly for current values.

Academic Program Entry Points

The homepage links to faculties and program listings. One example shown is the Faculty of Physical-Mechanical Engineering, with links to:

  • Undergraduate programs
  • Graduate (postgraduate) programs
  • PREUIS courses
  • Language courses
  • Monetary Rights

Prospective students can use these links as a starting point, then navigate to the specific faculty or program page for admission details.

Campus and Regional Presence

A section titled "Our Campuses" explains that UIS has an institutional presence in multiple locations, and "UIS en Territorios" ("UIS in Territories") highlights its regional reach. These sections help you understand where the university operates beyond its main site.

Media and Publications

The homepage also points to channels for following the university:

  • UIS Television (including the weekly news program)
  • Journals and Publications
  • Social media accounts
  • UIS stations

What the Homepage Does Not Provide

The homepage is a hub, not a complete reference. It does not present tuition prices, admission calendars, or detailed program requirements in the captured content. For decisions about applying or enrolling, follow the program and faculty links and confirm specifics on those pages.
