Universidad de Belgrano was established on 11th September 1964 following the 1958 Law 14.557 that permitted the creation of private universities in the Argentina and regulated how they should function. The UB first opened on the corner of Sucre & Cramer Streets in Belgrano Town. It had ninety students, twenty-eight faculties and one administrative staff-member.
On 26th February 1970, following an assessment conducted by the Ministry of Culture and Education and its consultation with the respective academic authorities of the National Academies whose fields were represented at the UB, the President of the Nation granted the university formal governmental recognition.
Initially the UB was organized into four faculties: Law & Social Sciences; Humanities; Economics; and Architecture.

·1988: School of Economics and International Commerce
·1992: Faculty of Languages and International Studies
·1996: Faculty of Health Sciences

Faculty
| Number of Faculty Staff | Headcount: 1,125 |  |
| Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. * The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator. | ||

The five-point numerical scale is typically correlated with the A-F/A-E quality index. (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, E or F = 0.0) In our context, a value of 0 will imply to us that your institution has an "open access" admissions policy and will in no way count against your institution in any future table built upon this data.
