Argentina: Buenos Aires Semester

Universidad de Belgrano in Buenos Aires

The Universidad de Belgrano is located in one of the most relaxing and distinguished residential areas of metropolitan Buenos Aires. Belgrano is only a few minutes from downtown where late-night life, good conversation over long, lingering dinners or at sidewalk cafes can be enjoyed in a safe city.

Course Offerings

Semester programs: The semester programs consist of a four-week intensive Spanish session followed by semester long courses taught in Spanish or English for international students or direct enrollment courses at the Universidad de Belgrano. The program in English provides students with a choice of five courses taught in English, plus a Spanish language course. Advanced Spanish speakers may take direct enrollment courses from the Universidad de Belgrano in many other faculties. Students earn approximately 27 quarter credits/18 semester credits.

Fall quarter: The fall quarter program consists of a 14-week semi-intensive Spanish language course for international students, taught from beginning to advanced levels. Students earn 21 quarter credits/14 semester credits.

Winter quarter: The winter quarter program consists of two four-week intensive Spanish language sessions, taught from the beginning to advanced levels. Students earn 20 quarter credits/13 semester credits.

 

Student Life

Students may opt to live in homestays arranged by the program or can find their own accommodations. Students placed in homestays have their own room and are provided with breakfast and dinner. Homestays are located in suburbs convenient to the university.

The program coordinator will plan activities for participants each month such as trips to the Teatro Colon, La Boca district, markets, and other local sites of interest. Group gatherings are also arranged throughout the program. Several Field trips will be arranged by program faculty when necessary. Students also have free access to a large sports complex. An International Club (“Club del Exterior”) bring together international students with Universidad de Belgrano students who have returned from studying abroad. This will also give students the opportunity to participate in social activities. Free tango lessons, an excellent acting and performing school, and an active choir are included among these activities.
