1. UNIVERSIDAD DE BUENOS AIRES
PREPARED BY: JOSELITO G. LOQUINARIO, M.A.

2. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
 The University of Buenos
Aires (Spanish: Universidad de Buenos Aires, UBA)
is the largest university in Argentina and the
second largest university by enrollment in Latin
America. Founded on August 12, 1821 in the city
of Buenos Aires, it consists of 13 departments, 6
hospitals, 10 museums and is linked to 4 high
schools: Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires, Escuela
Superior de Comercio Carlos Pellegrini, Instituto
Libre de Segunda Enseñanza and Escuela de
Educación Técnica Profesional en Producción
Agropecuaria y Agroalimentaria.

3. CURRICULUM
 Entry to any of the available programmes of study in the
university is open to anyone with a secondary school degree; in
most cases, students who have successfully completed high school
must pass a first year called CBC, which stands for Ciclo Básico
Común(Common Basic Cycle). Only upon completion of this first
year may the student enter the chosen school; until then, they must
attend courses in different buildings, and have up to 3 years to finish
the 6 or 7 subjects (which vary depending on the programme of
study chosen) assigned in two groups of 3 or 4. Each subject is of
one semester duration (March–July or August–November). If
someone passes all 6 subjects in their respective semester, the
CBC will take only one year. Potential students of economics,
instead, take a 2-year common cycle, the "CBG" (General Basic
Cycle), comprising 12 subjects.

4. PROGRAM OFFERED
 The schools that comprise the university are:
• Ciclo Básico Común

5. CAMPUSES
 The UBA has no central campus. A
centralized Ciudad Universitaria (literally,
"university city") was started in the 1960s, but
contains only two schools, with the others at
different locations in Buenos Aires.
 Access to the university is free of charge for
everyone, including foreigners. However, the
postgraduate programs charge tuition fees that
can be covered with research scholarships for
those students with outstanding academic
performance.
