International students are able to study at our university as exchange students through a bilateral or multilateral agreement with another institution, or as independent (free-mover) students.
They can have access to the academic offerings provided by UNSAM for exchange students, taking into account whether the subjects match with the semester chosen.
International exchange students should apply through our online system.http://unsam.edu.ar/internacional/incoming/. A Contact Person of the International Office from each partner university will be assigned to be in charge of their students’ exchange and to have access to the website to nominate them.
The nominated students should fill out the online system form with the requested information and attach the required documents (Passport, transcript of records, CV, Motivation Letter, and Language Certificate if necessary).
