There are more than thirty-two universities and more than ninety technical institutes. Women take up 52 percent of university enrollment.

The oldest and largest public university is the Universidad Central de Venezuela (UCV), which occupies a huge campus in the center of Caracas and teaches about 58,000 students. It was designed by Venezuelan architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva between 1944 and 1960. Recognized as a masterpiece of modernist architecture, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Murals and sculptures by Alexander Calder are dotted around the campus.

The other major university is the Universidad de los Andes in Mérida, which dates back to 1810 and has some 40,000 students.
