Anhembi Morumbi University

Anhembi Morumbi University is a private higher-education institution in Brazil, primarily based in São Paulo. Its origins date to the 1970s, when it was associated with communication and media education, and it later expanded into a comprehensive university with programs in areas including business, communication, design, health, engineering and information technology. The institution was previously part of Laureate International Universities’ Brazilian higher-education network and later became part of the relevant education assets transferred to Ânima Educação. Its activities focus mainly on career-oriented undergraduate and postgraduate education, delivered through campus-based and digital formats. Reliable, current public information confirming its management, enrollment, scale and financial figures is not included here.

The history of Anhembi Morumbi University can be traced to the 1970s, when its early educational activity was associated with communication and media studies. It subsequently broadened its academic scope and developed into a comprehensive higher-education institution. As its programs expanded, the university established a presence at multiple teaching locations in São Paulo and added fields such as business, design, health, engineering and information technology. The institution later became part of Laureate International Universities’ Brazilian higher-education network. Around 2020, parts of Laureate’s Brazilian higher-education assets were transferred to Ânima Educação, bringing Anhembi Morumbi University into Ânima’s portfolio of educational institutions. The university continues to focus on undergraduate, postgraduate and career-oriented higher education. Because a fully verified institutional chronology is not available here, specific claims about every name change, campus opening and former administrator are omitted.
