Academic Structure
Students can take classes from all academic programmes offered at Los Andes; this interdisciplinary approach allows students to design their own curricular programme, with the assistance of study counselors. The following scheme shows the academic structure at Uniandes, which includes four cycles: a Basic Professional Cycle (CBP in Spanish), which refers to the basic subjects belonging to each programme; a Cycle of Elective Courses in Socio-humanistic issues (CSH in Spanish), common to all programmes and that offers about 180 courses; a Professional Cycle (CP in Spanish), which includes the main professional subject for each programme; and a Professional Complementary Cycle (CPC), which includes subjects from the speciļ¬c programme and subjects from other programmes.
