Description

Mente Argentina's Start Up program seeks to offer assistance to those who wish to start or continue long term University Studies in Argentina.

Depending on your area of interest and the degree you would like to obtain, our program coordinators will help you choose the university that is right for your needs. We will also arrange your accommodations in Buenos Aires during the first two, four or six months of your studies, according to the program you choose.

Mente Argentina offers you the opportunity to start or continue your university studies in Argentina at some of the most prestigious universities in the country. Our numerous agreements and close connections with these universities ensure that we have a wide range of options to provide our students.

We work with more than 10 Public & Private Universities and with more than 15 private schools in Argentina.

Argentina, particularly the city of Buenos Aires, is known for its well respected universities and academic institutions.

In the last few years, especially as the Argentine peso has experienced some devaluation, more foreign students have enrolled on Argentine universities than ever before. Many come to start or continue their university studies at a graduate or undergraduate level. While taking advantage of the favorable exchange rate, they are able to benefit from the amazing opportunities the Argentine education system has to offer.
