Universidad Torcuato di Tella

Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Universidad Torcuato di Tella offers a robust exchange program, hosting students from across the world to study in the vibrant city of Buenos Aires. Founded in 1991, the university is particularly well-known for its offerings in the social sciences; other notable departments include art, architecture and international studies. Students in the exchange program can take courses in both Spanish and English.

UTDT welcomes exchange students from partner universities and free movers (students coming from institutions without a bilateral exchange agreement) who are eager to learn in a friendly yet rigorous academic environment. In its close-knit community, incoming students have access to a wide array of thought-provoking courses, seminars, workshops, and talks focused on the Social Sciences, Architecture, Art, Business, and Law. A broad offering of weekly cultural and sports activities provides students with unparalleled opportunities for gaining an in-depth understanding of the local culture and developing long-lasting friendships and a rich network of professional connections.

Cost to attend:

91²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ charges the same tuition fees for a semester or year off-campus as for a semester or year spent on campus, plus the program's actual room and board fees. 91²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ encourages students to choose programs based on their academic rather than financial needs to reflect 91²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ's belief that all students, regardless of financial circumstances, should have the opportunity to study abroad.

Financial aid continues for eligible students during the off-campus program. Students should discuss with the Financial Aid Office how other outside aid may impact their existing aid package. Check out more details directly on the 91²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Financial Aid page.

Visa Deadlines and Requirements:

Government provision #2023-96270648 of the Dirección Nacional de Migraciones (National Migrations Department) establishes that those entering the country for educational purposes for periods longer than two days must obtain an Electronic Entry Permit (TIE 24H) or visa before arriving in Argentina. UTDT will not issue transcripts to those students who do not upload proof of their TIE24H or visa to the corresponding platform by the stipulated date.

The entry permit (TIE 24H) can only be requested by citizens of countries that do not require a tourist visa to enter Argentina (see list .)

Those coming from countries that require a visa will have to apply for the  or  visa, depending on the duration of their studies at UTDT.

Both the TIE 24H (see the processing instructions at the bottom of this page) and the visa can be processed as of 90 days before the start of the study period at UTDT. Since the process can take several months, it is important to start the application at least two months before arrival in Argentina, or as soon as the acceptance letter is received. In the acceptance package, UTDT will provide to accepted students all necessary information for requesting the TIE 24H or the visa.
