UCundinamarca will have two “ambassadors” in Brazil

For one semester, two young students from our institution will be on exchange at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Brazil).

“"I am a practical, simple young man, dedicated to people and opportunities, with the qualities to succeed.". This is how Brandon Steven Ruiz Velandia, a seventh-semester student in the Business Administration program at the University of Cundinamarca, defines himself. This young man, who exudes leadership within the student community, will be the student representative on his faculty council, a designation he obtained with 1,187 votes.

Brandon, originally from Fusagasugá, who will share classes with students from Germany, Austria, Spain, France, Hong Kong, among other countries, is already clear that he will be an ambassador for our Institution to the world.

“My goal is to get to know other cultures and people, to connect with them, to adapt, and to excel in the academic environment, in order to bring honor to our university.”, the young student pointed out.

Brandon, who is also a delegate to the Score Allocation Committee at UCundinamarca, will take courses that will help strengthen his professional profile, such as Consumer Analysis, Management Simulation, Macroeconomic Environment, and Real Estate Media.

In this experience of building and exchanging knowledge, you will also have the opportunity to take an elective course called Industrialization of Fields and Soils, a topic that may sound familiar to you: “I chose this last subject because I am a farmer. My family is of rural origin and I would like to gain more knowledge and replicate the same knowledge of how to work the land.”.

David Alejandro Torres, a sixth-semester student in the Electronic Engineering program, will be another young man who will travel in the coming days to study for a semester abroad at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Brazil), an institution that is ranked 5th in the Shanghai World ranking that addresses issues of higher education.

“I always like to step out of my comfort zone, explore new challenges every day that require me to expand my knowledge, as well as learn another language and get to know cultures different from our own,”, express.

This young man, who stands out as a specialist in the bandola instrument, has a passion for theater and sports as a taekwondo practitioner, will take courses to strengthen his academic level such as those related to Communications Theory, Digital Communications, Biomedical Instrumentation, Linear Systems Control, as well as antennas and the operation of communication networks.
