What we can confirm

  • Listed in the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS ID F0002473) — you can verify this independently on wdoms.org rather than take any agent's word for it.
  • 107 rated student reviews on file here, averaging 4.4★ — read the full text below before deciding.

Verify before you pay anyone

  • Recognition and licensing rules change over time. Re-check the current NMC-eligible colleges list and this country's regulations for Argentina yourself before paying anything.
  • Never pay an agent or "seat reservation" fee in cash, or before you have a signed offer letter directly from the university.
  • A guaranteed admission, a discounted "management quota" seat, or pressure to decide within 24 hours are classic pressure tactics — slow down and verify independently.
  • Confirm the medium of instruction, hostel/food costs, and total multi-year fee in writing from the university itself, not only from an agent's brochure.

Real reviews from students.

Majo Tejerina

The best university, I have to say, because it shapes you not only academically but also as a person. What I would like is for the University to take better care of its graduates, keeping them in mind by inviting them to courses, events, and postgraduate programs, and giving them something extra for having chosen them.

Glauco Oliveira

Wonderful place, from there you can see a large part of Puerto Madero (the tourist areas, of course). It's very close to the famous bridge, and there are also places to eat along the riverbank. It's quite beautiful to walk through these streets at sunset.

Nicolas Brandt

One of my worst experiences as a student, the organization was a total disaster, and not to mention the math teachers Balzarini and Landivar, two incompetent and arrogant teachers, who didn't even show up to administer the exam to the students.

Lucas Piramini

The facilities are picturesque, but if you're looking for professional development, DO NOT expect to find quality content at this university. Their curricula are pitiful, the content is completely outdated (I studied a postgraduate program …

Vanina Brunetti

The academic aspects are great, but the exterior areas are lacking in cleanliness. It's disgusting to see how, even weeks after the semester ended, there are still rotten eggs, flour, and other filth on the river side. This was caused by …

Leticia Cardoso

I am a graduate of the Faculty of Economic Sciences and I need information about my degree program. The service I receive is appalling; no one is responsible, and they just pass the buck like children. And what I need is easy to resolve. …

Cintia Coronel

In December 2019, I completed my postgraduate studies at this institution. During the following months, I repeatedly tried to contact them to find out the next steps to finally obtain my degree. They kept giving me the runaround until I …

Isa Rush

I'm a university student. You pay a huge monthly fee, and they still don't give you any attention. The organization is disastrous. The course registration website doesn't work well, and you're left out. They don't send you the schedules …

Florencia Posteraro

I enrolled at the university to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Health Systems Management. I submitted all the required paperwork and paid all the requested fees through the virtual campus (which you provided). You contacted me about the …

They are scammers. Three months ago, I paid for, completed, and passed a postgraduate program, and since then, neither the postgraduate coordinator nor the faculty has responded to the emails I sent (previously to sell the course and …

Regarding the specialties of Otolaryngology and Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, they don't even have a physical space to conduct clinical rotations. Therefore, these rotations must be sought out in public hospitals, where, obviously, …

Luis Alberto Ayala Zárate

The truth is that it was a beautiful experience to have walked around Buenos Aires that day I took the photo. I really didn't know this university, but as soon as I saw its structure and that beautiful red brick facade, I was truly …

J

Beautiful, very modern facilities and a high academic standard. It's located in the heart of Puerto Madero, so the area is quite safe for students and teachers. I've attended a few courses, and it's always tidy and well-organized.

Luciano Caballaro

It would be great if all the students at this faculty were taught basic hygiene and cleanliness when they graduate and celebrate.
It's disgusting to walk past the dam and see it all filthy and smelling rotten.

Luis Sambrano

Beautiful facilities, excellent teachers, and the surrounding areas add to its appeal, being right in the heart of Puerto Madero. Surrounded by cafes, bars, and attractions, it's definitely a wonderful place.

Sil Gonfer

I suggest the institution incorporate courses on the environment, civic responsibility, and public space and tourism. The graduates demonstrate their poor social and environmental skills. …

Francisco Ariel Cabello.

Catholic University of Argentina. Puerto Madero Campus. Located on Moreau Avenue, just four minutes from the Retiro bus terminal. It has bars and ATMs. In the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.

Alejandra Tabera

It's very pretty and the people who work there are super friendly. Being from the interior, I had many questions, and with great patience and kindness they answered all my questions.

Matias Cachi

Up-to-date undergraduate and graduate programs. Workshops and laboratories with …

Maximiliano Acevedo

The site the university chose for its campus. I used to pass by it every time I took the bus home. Today, it's a fond memory and one of the few times I took a panoramic photo...

Belinda León

I want to get into this university. Could someone please tell me what the psychology program is like here? And if it's very expensive, I'd appreciate it.

F B

The Santa María building is a very beautiful building that houses the arts pavilion. It's worth a visit. The library is also located in this building.

Claudio Prieu

A great place to pursue an undergraduate degree. Good atmosphere among students and faculty. Good treatment in the administrative departments.

Pablo Suarez

Flee from anything Catholic. You'll have a better life if you don't let yourself be scammed by these professionals of lies and manipulation.

An impressive architectural complex, seamlessly integrated with the port's redevelopment. A very pleasant urban area to explore on foot.

Maryam

Excellent, but if you want a coffee, don't go to Sonna, it's very expensive and doesn't look like Martinez is a good option.

Juan Bautista Clapier

Beautiful and very well maintained despite its long length. It respects protocols and is returning to in-person classes.

Rosalia M. Cisneros

A great venue that meets all expectations for an excellent Congress like the one we enjoyed today. 100% recommended.

Sergio Bompart

Enormous buildings like ships ready to set sail...the port, the dock...are you ready for this journey of knowledge?
