- Accreditation
- Ministry of Higher Education of Cuba (MES); national accreditation via the Junta de Acreditación Nacional (JAN). Verify on the public registry · last verified 2026-05-16.
- English
- The language of instruction is Spanish; Spanish proficiency is normally required (some programmes provide a preparatory Spanish year for international students). Verify per programme.
- Tuition
- Cuban higher education is state-run; for Cuban nationals it is tuition-free. International students typically study via bilateral/scholarship arrangements or pay set fees (medicine and ELAM programmes have specific arrangements). ⚠️ PRACTICAL ADVISORY (neutral, factual): studying in Cuba carries practical/legal considerations — the long-standing US embargo and OFAC rules significantly affect US citizens/residents and banking/payments, and recognition of Cuban degrees (especially MEDICAL, incl. ELAM) for practice in your home country must be independently verified (graduates typically must pass their home country's licensing exams). Verify your government's rules, sanctions exposure, and professional-recognition requirements BEFORE enrolling.

We list institutions whose accreditation we have verified against a recognized national or international accrediting body. Listing does not vouch for any specific program's recognition by destination-country regulators, individual admissions outcomes, or post-graduation credential transferability.
When you click through to a university's website, you are interacting with that institution's admissions process under their terms. Our responsibility ends at pointing you to a verified-accreditation institution.
