The Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo (UAEH) or the Autonomous University of Hidalgo State, began as the Instituto Literario y Escuela de Artes y Oficios (Literary Institute and School of Arts and Crafts) in Pachuca, 1869.

In 1875, it moved to the former San Juan de Dios Hospital (founded in 1725), the structure of which is now the university’s Central Building.

During the Mexican Revolution (1910-17), the university was closed several times but survived. It briefly became known as the University of Hidalgo in 1921, but returned to its original name in 1925.

In the 1940s, programmes in medicine, law and engineering were added and it was granted autonomy in 1948.

UAEH is the oldest and largest university in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico and is known as one of the best universities in Ibero-America and Latin America. It is a member of the Consortium of Mexican Universities (CUMEX) and is one of the best universities in Mexico for postgraduate studies.
