Universidad Nacional de Lanús (UNLa)

Overview

Established in 1995, the Universidad Nacional de Lanús (UNLa - National University of Lanús) is an Urban Engaged University located in the city of Remedios de Escalada de San Martín, which is part of Lanús' district. It is located at only 16 km far south from Buenos Aires City.

Teaching at the Universidad Nacional de Lanús covers a range of academic subjects including Community Health, Arts and Humanities, Production and Technologic Development and Public Policies and Planning . The university also aims to benefit the local community by offering training programs open to all ages.

      UNLa also has an extensive scholarship program for internal undergraduate students. These are financed through a solidarity fund made up of voluntary contributions and money raised from fees and the university budget. It is important to know that since 1949 public universities at graduate level are tuition-free and open to anyone. In contrast, post-graduate education is generally not free.

Argentine University System

In Argentina, universities use the Continental education system, which differs greatly with the Anglo-Saxon and the Scandinavian systems. The lack of equivalence for the different degrees requires an explanation of the educational system so that there might not be confusions further ahead:

a.         Undergraduate courses: They usually last between two and three years and students receive an associate degree on a specialized fielb.         Graduate courses:

             i. Licentiate course: Students receive a Licentiate degree on a specialized subject. The course is equivalent to an American or European undergraduate degree plus a Master’s degree in the field according to the equivalences set forth by the Bologna process.

            ii. Licentiate cycle: Students who hold an undergraduate degree may apply for a Licentiate cycle course in order to obtain a Licentiate degree on a related field.

c.         Postgraduate courses:  These include Master’s degrees (2 years long), specializations (1 year long) and doctorates (4 to 5 years long).
