Application Tip
UBA is one of Latin America's most prestigious universities and is genuinely free — no tuition for anyone, anywhere in the world. The catch: all programs are in Spanish, and Buenos Aires has experienced significant economic volatility. An Argentina experience is a strong differentiator for careers in Latin American policy, law, or business.
Tuition Overview
UBA (Universidad de Buenos Aires) charges no tuition — Argentine public universities are free for all students, including international students. You pay only minimal administrative fees.
