About the study place
Universidad de Belgrano is centrally located in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, in the neighbourhood of Belgrano. Argentina offers both Latin American culture and a wide range of natural experiences – from rainforests and deserts to the pampas, the Andes Mountains and glaciers.
Buenos Aires is a coastal city and a dense, urban metropolis shaped by both European and Latin American culture. The city is characterised by lively streets, late dining hours, strong social traditions and a rich cultural scene featuring theatre, music and tango. If you plan to study here, it is helpful to have some knowledge of Spanish, even if your courses are taught in English, as Spanish is widely used both at the university and in everyday life. For students, the city offers many cultural experiences at relatively low cost compared to many European capitals, although Argentina’s economic situation can lead to price fluctuations and periods of high inflation. Buenos Aires is generally safe, but visitors should be aware of pickpocketing and petty crime.
Universidad de Belgrano is a private university founded in 1964 and is known for its international outlook and close ties to the labour market. It offers programmes in fields such as economics, business administration, international relations, law, communication, psychology, architecture and design. Several programmes have a global perspective, and the institution has extensive exchange partnerships. The academic system can be quite theoretical and exam‑based, requiring a considerable amount of independent study and the ability to adapt to local academic traditions.
