Universidad Nacional de Córdoba - UNC (reviews)

The National University of Córdoba is one of the top institutions of higher education in Argentina. It boasts the most multicultural and diverse environment among all the colleges and institutes I’ve known during my years as a student. That’s one aspect I appreciate the most about my dear UNC. However, one thing I dislike is the current state of the infrastructure. The classroom areas are often too small for the number of students attending classes, and the bathrooms are frequently filthy.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this prestigious institution. The quality of the teachers, subjects, and professional practice offered here is among the best in Argentina.

this is a great university, with good planification, programs, and extra activities, the teachers have consideration and they are very compromised with your education, this combined with the organization of the institution makes your education so much easier.

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.

According to the ranking of the consulting firm Quacquarelli Symonds (2022), six universities in Argentina are among the 50 best in Latin America and the National University of Córdoba UNC is in 39th place.

I like that they consider the student as a priority, providing a solution to each particular situation that a student may have: how can it be health issues, work, or some justifiable situation, everything is taken into account so that it allows you to continue with the career despite the personal adversities you may have.

What I did not like, particularly the degree that I am studying, which is Biological Sciences at the Faculty of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences, is that the Curriculum updated in 2015 is not really consistent with the number of hours planned for the career that is around 5 years, which is a degree career. The graduation average is not representative of that year, only very few students graduate in 5 years. The majority of graduates between 7 and 10 years of study, really crazy compared to the global demand for work, you have to pay for 10 years financially, which is a problem if you have to spend many hours studying.
