Where you'll study
Torcuato Di Tella University
While Torcuato Di Tella University (UTDT) is young, it has quickly become one of Argentina’s most prestigious private universities. Here, you will learn alongside the next generation of leaders in business, academia, politics and the arts. On the bright, urban campus, everything is modern and eco-friendly. With its green roof terrace, the university is a shining example of sustainability and conservation. In addition, UTDT is an advocate of cultural exchange and hosts a variety of social events for international students. It also offers a buddy system that will help you meet more Argentine students. If you’re up for it, you can even join an intramural sports team, which the International Programs Office highly recommends. The surrounding area is in Belgrano, an attractive residential neighborhood with lavishly designed embassies, lush parks and a busy shopping area famous for Argentinian fashion brands. Steps from campus are plenty of parks for study breaks as well as shops and malls.
Alberto Hurtado University
Alberto Hurtado University (UAH) believes in building knowledge to end poverty and inequality. The Chilean academic community hails the university for its commitment to social justice. You’ll find its programs in social sciences and humanities exceptional. UAH's particular academic style combines scientific investigation with public service.

Located in the center of Santiago in heritage houses built in the 1920s, the campus preserves the history and identity of the city.
