The Universidad Industrial de Santander expands its academic offering in renewable energy with a new in-person program to be offered in Bucaramanga, Barrancabermeja, and Puerto Carreño. The payment period for the application process will be open from August 31 to September 7. Meanwhile, online applications will be available from September 2 to 9.
The new Professional Technical Program in Photovoltaic System Installation and Maintenance is an educational initiative designed to address the needs of the energy sector and the challenges posed by the transition toward more sustainable energy sources.
The program has received qualified registration from the Ministry of National Education for a period of seven years, through Resolution No. 018864 of July 22, 2026. Its creation was approved by the UIS Academic Council through Agreement No. 337 of November 25, 2025.
Those interested may begin the application process for this new program, which will be offered in person in three regions of the country:
The program lasts four semesters and includes a curriculum comprising 57 academic credits. For each academic period, the projected admission capacity is 40 students in Bucaramanga, 40 in Barrancabermeja, and 30 in Puerto Carreño.
With the launch of this program, UIS strengthens its academic offering in a strategic field for the country’s energy development and expands its presence in the regions by providing an educational alternative that responds to local needs.
The training of professional technicians in the installation and maintenance of photovoltaic systems contributes to building capabilities for harnessing solar energy and opens new opportunities for education and employment in a sector moving toward more sustainable energy models.
This new achievement is also the result of the coordinated efforts of the academic communities of the School of Electrical, Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering and the Faculty of Physical-Mechanical Engineering, whose knowledge and commitment made the creation and approval of the program possible.
The publication of admission results will take place on September 10, 2026.
