The official language of Colombia is Spanish.
It is more common to find courses offered in Spanish than English in Colombia. If you wish to study in a non-native language, you will need to provide evidence of your language proficiency. If you do not meet the required standards, some universities offer language courses to help you improve.
Even if you are able to study in English, you should make an effort to learn as much Spanish as possible. Communicating with locals and other students is the perfect way to practice. This is a skill that will look great on your CV/resume.
