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).
