Universidad Nacional del Litoral

A university that is full of life with its natural roots is Universidad Nacional del Litoral. With the university being founded in 1918 as the result of a university reform movement, the proud heritage still stands.

With its vast number of courses, it focuses on five main areas: art and human sciences; social sciences; engineering, technology and agricultural sciences; health and biological sciences and exact and natural sciences.

The university also offers a personalised approach when it comes to studying, with the course content being student-led, as well as there being a big interest in research. Courses at this institution offer hands on experiences and the opportunity to be immersed in nature wherever possible. Not only that, there are loads of opportunities to get involved with both non-competitive and competitive sports, as well as monthly events around art and culture.

One distinguished graduate is Rogelio Pfirter. He was the director general of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) from 2002 to 2010 after graduating as a lawyer from the Universidad Nacional del Litoral. He also went on to receive a number of international awards, including the Grand Cross of the Orden of Merit from Chile.
