I am pleased to welcome you to Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon, an institution founded in 1933 that has been characterized as a benchmark of prestige in higher education. Our humanistic and scientific professionals have an impact on social problems, changes, and innovation in the northeastern region of Mexico.
