Business & Economics
Law
Medicine & Health Sciences
Humanities & Social Sciences
Engineering & Technology
Arts & Communication
Many programs are available in Spanish, so proficiency in the language is important, though USAL also offers Spanish language courses to help international students improve their language skills.
USAL has strong ties with universities across the world and offers a variety of exchange programs. International students can:
Study Abroad for a Semester or a Year: Students from partner universities can come to USAL as exchange students.
Dual Degree Programs: USAL has agreements with several institutions for dual degrees, where students can earn degrees from both USAL and a partner university.
The primary language of instruction at USAL is Spanish. Some graduate programs may offer courses in English, but international students are generally expected to have a sufficient level of Spanish proficiency to engage in classes, complete coursework, and interact with peers.
For students who are not fluent in Spanish, USAL offers Spanish as a Second Language (ELE) programs, which can help students become proficient in Spanish while studying their chosen degree.
To apply for an undergraduate degree (Licenciatura), international students typically need:
High School Diploma or equivalent secondary school qualification.
Proof of Spanish language proficiency, as most courses are taught in Spanish (unless applying for a program with courses in English or a bilingual program).
Official transcripts from high school or equivalent.
A copy of your passport.
Letter of motivation or personal statement (some programs may require this).
Letters of recommendation (depending on the program).
For specific programs like Medicine, Law, or Psychology, you may need to pass an entrance exam or meet additional criteria.
To apply for a master's or doctoral degree:
Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) from a recognized institution.
Official transcripts of undergraduate studies.
Curriculum Vitae (CV).
Statement of purpose or research proposal (especially for doctoral applicants).
Letters of recommendation (from academic or professional references).
Proof of Spanish proficiency (unless applying for a program in English).
For some programs (especially doctoral), an interview may be required.
Most of the programs at USAL are taught in Spanish. If Spanish is not your first language, you will need to demonstrate proficiency through:
International Spanish Language Evaluation (DELE) certification.
A Spanish language placement test provided by USAL.
USAL’s Spanish as a Second Language (ELE) courses for those needing to improve their language skills before starting their degree program.
If your program is taught in English, English proficiency tests like TOEFL or IELTS may be required, though this is less common for most programs.
Choose Your Program:
Explore the academic programs offered at USAL. Ensure that you meet the specific admission criteria for your chosen program.
Submit an Online Application:
Visit the official website of the University of Salvador.
Complete the online application form available on the admissions portal.
Upload required documents, such as transcripts, identification (passport), and letters of recommendation.
Document Validation:
Ensure your documents are translated into Spanish (if they are in another language) and certified. Some documents may need to be authenticated through the Apostille of The Hague (an international certification recognized by Argentina).
Entrance Exam/Interview (if applicable):
Certain programs, such as Medicine, Law, and Psychology, may require an entrance exam or interview as part of the admissions process.
Pay the Application Fee:
Submit the application fee (amount varies by program and applicant’s country of origin).
Acceptance and Enrollment:
If your application is accepted, you will receive an acceptance letter.
You’ll be guided through the enrollment process, including paying your first tuition installment, confirming your place, and registering for classes.
Once accepted, international students will need to obtain a student visa to study in Argentina. The basic process is:
Apply for a student visa at your nearest Argentine consulate with the following documents:
Letter of acceptance from USAL.
Proof of sufficient financial resources to cover your stay.
Valid passport.
Health insurance valid in Argentina.
Proof of criminal background check.
Student visas are typically issued for the duration of your studies and need to be renewed annually.
Tuition fees at USAL vary depending on the program and level of study. Fees for international students may differ from those for Argentine nationals.
Students are required to pay an initial registration fee upon acceptance, followed by annual or semester-based tuition fees.
You may also inquire about scholarships and financial aid for international students, though these opportunities can be limited.
USAL does not typically offer on-campus housing, but they provide assistance in finding off-campus accommodation in Buenos Aires or other cities where the university has campuses.
The university also offers resources for international student integration, including orientation programs and language assistance.
Main Intake: The academic year in Argentina typically starts in March, which is the main intake for undergraduate programs. Applications are usually due by December or January of the previous year.
Mid-Year Intake: Some programs may offer a second intake in July or August, depending on program availability and student demand. Deadlines for this intake are typically in May or June.
Graduate programs generally follow a similar schedule, with most programs beginning in March. Some programs offer flexible or rolling admissions, allowing students to start at different times of the year, depending on their specific course structure.
Specialized or professional programs, such as MBA or executive programs, may have different intakes, including mid-year starts.
International students should allow extra time for application processing due to the additional requirements such as visa applications, document translations, and validations.
It is recommended that international students apply 6-9 months before their intended start date to allow sufficient time for visa processing and relocation arrangements.
To apply for an undergraduate program at USAL, you need to meet the following eligibility criteria:
High School Diploma or Equivalent:
International students must provide proof of completion of secondary education equivalent to the Argentine Bachillerato (high school diploma).
The diploma and transcripts should be translated into Spanish and, in some cases, may need to be authenticated through the Apostille of The Hague.

A Spanish language placement test conducted by the university.
For students with insufficient Spanish skills, USAL offers Spanish as a Second Language (ELE) programs.
Additional Requirements (Program-Specific):
Some programs (e.g., Medicine, Law, Psychology) may require you to take an entrance exam or attend an interview.
Programs with high demand, such as Medicine, may have more competitive entry requirements, including minimum academic performance in high school.
To apply for a graduate (master’s or doctoral) program, you need to meet the following eligibility criteria:
Bachelor’s Degree:
A recognized undergraduate degree or equivalent from an accredited institution is required.
International students must provide transcripts and diploma translations into Spanish. Some programs may require these documents to be authenticated via Apostille.

Some graduate programs, particularly in business or international studies, may offer courses in English. For these, you may need to demonstrate proficiency in English through tests like TOEFL or IELTS.
Program-Specific Requirements:
Depending on the program, you may need to submit a statement of purpose, letters of recommendation, and a CV.
For doctoral programs, a research proposal may be required.
Interviews or additional assessments may be required for programs like MBA, Psychology, or Law.
