Some data from UNAM
UNAM was inaugurated on September 22, 1910 under the name National University of Mexico.
Although the first time there was interest in establishing a university was during New Spain. It was 1536 when Archbishop Fray Juan de Zumaraga unveiled the idea. However, the Certificate of Creation of the Royal and Grain University of Mexico was not issued until September 1551.
Although Ciudad Universitaria is the main campus and is most defined by residents, UNAM has different campuses in the metropolitan area.
In total, the university has 15 faculties, five interdisciplinary units, and eight national schools. It also has a presence throughout the Mexican Republic; as well as internationally.
