Universidad Nacional de Córdoba - UNC
speciality: Communication

The National University of Córdoba is one of the most important academic institutions in Argentina and Latin America. Founded in 1613, it has educated key figures such as Arturo Illia, leaders of the 1918 University Reform such as Deodoro Roca, and numerous scientists, professionals, and leaders who have shaped Argentine history.

The National University of Córdoba (UNC) has a strong national and international presence, with outstanding projects in health, science, technology, astronomy, and social sciences, in collaboration with universities and organizations worldwide. Its wide range of academic programs attracts thousands of students each year from all Argentine provinces and abroad, making Córdoba a diverse, pluralistic, and globally connected educational hub.

The quality of the professors and the strong theoretical foundation

I studied Social Communication at UNC and overall, I had a very enriching experience. The professors were highly trained, committed, and always willing to guide students. The academic environment encouraged critical thinking and a deep understanding of communication theories. However, one major downside was the outdated curriculum. Many subjects didn’t reflect the current trends or tools used in the professional field, which sometimes made it hard to connect theory with modern practice. Despite that, I would definitely recommend the program for its academic strength and the prestige of the university.

I attended UNC, specifically the Communication Faculty, from 2008 to 2015. There I studied Communications Sciences. UNC is one of the best universities in Argentina, rich in history and cultural heritage. I feel very happy and proud that I was once part of such a remarkable institution.

The university has a really big campus, which encompasses libraries, a bar-cafeteria, different sports fields and a variety of buildings, each one corresponding to different faculties.
Most of the buildings are old but well-maintained, the classrooms are spacious, comfortable and have good illumination. On the bad side, sometimes the sound is not so good.

Another great aspect of UNC that I really enjoyed is the people who work there. From professors to assistant teachers, they are excellent professionals. Highly qualified in their respective fields, most of them have excellent qualifications and are very committed to their job, to offer the best of their knowledge to the students.

Pro: It’s free, there aren’t so many universities in the world where you can study for free.

Con: Even back in the day, when I was studying, it felt like the programs were old, and needed an update. I think this varies from faculty to faculty, but this was definitely an issue.

Overall, I would say that my experience was very positive. I enjoyed being a student there. I have good memories of the people that I got to know, of the professors, the lessons, and of the time in general that I spent there. Even more importantly, my bachelor’s degree has given me the opportunity to work in the marketing and communications fields, in a variety of companies in Argentina and abroad. It was constructive and beneficial to me, on both a personal and professional level. I would highly recommend and encourage people to attend UNC and study there.

UNC is a public university with one of the largest trajectories in Latin America.
It was pure inspiration to be a student there for 5 years, and I could be an even more accurate option for young communicators if the government would invest more in infrastructure and tech.
