What Stands Out
Facts that make Argentina different.
No entrance exam at UBA
Anyone with the right school papers can join UBA. Every degree starts with the Basic Common Cycle (CBC), the first-year common courses. Public universities can charge foreigners without permanent residence, but UBA says its bachelor's study is free for foreigners. Ask in writing.
Work during your studies
Degree students with a temporary residence as a student (your permit to live in Argentina as a degree student) may do paid work while it is valid. Students on a transitory residence (for exchange or short study) may not, unless the National Directorate of Migration (DNM) allows it.
Free school certificate recognition
If you want a bachelor's, Argentina's Ministry of Education checks your school certificate and accepts it as valid in Argentina. It is free and online. You do it once.
