Our Campus

On December 27, 1997, the UIS Barbosa Campus began its academic activities with the enthusiastic support of municipal and departmental authorities. Sixty students enrolled in the Management and Computer Technology program.

In 2002, UIS Barbosa expanded its offerings to include introductory levels for several engineering programs: Civil, Industrial, Electrical, Electronic, Mechanical, Systems, Chemical, Metallurgical, Petroleum, and Geology.

In April 2008, the Barbosa campus of Universidad Industrial de Santander was established on an 11-hectare site located at Km 1 on the old road to Cite, with the official inauguration taking place on September 18, 2009. By the second semester of 2010, the second phase, which included the library building, was completed.

This initiative to create spaces for the academic community demonstrates UIS’s commitment to regional development and its support of the University’s mission and vision.
