My University requires me to study some subjects abroad. Can I do it at UBA?

Yes. Either because it is a requirement at your University or because you are interested in doing a stay abroad, and you have your University’s consent, you can take some courses at the University of Buenos Aires for one or two semesters. To do so, you have to get in touch with the International Relations area of the School you are interested in so that they can provide information regarding the registration process and the documentation you need.
