Programas internacionales / International Programs

After your home university has nominated you, you will need to send a complete application (see requirements and deadlines) via the Application Form. Please note that incomplete applications will not be processed.

Admissions decisions are communicated via e-mail approximately 3 weeks after the application deadline. 

Once you receive an admission decision, you will need to login to our Campus Virtual with your personal access information and follow the indicated instructions and deadlines.

Among other steps, you will need to obtain health coverage that meets the UTDT requirements (read here for further details), and start your visa procedure.

The course offer will be available upon acceptance to UTDT. Otherwise, please request the course catalogue by contacting international@utdt.edu

Undergraduate course information may be found here and graduate course information here.

Students will do the course enrollment themselves approximately two weeks before the semester begins. They will be able to enroll in up to five courses. Changes in registration may be made until the end of the second week of class. Registration instructions will be sent to the students after the acceptance letter is emailed.

When selecting courses, please take into consideration that:

• Our first semester runs from March through July, and the second from August through December. 
• Unless indicated otherwise, courses are taught in Spanish.
• Class attendance is mandatory. Therefore, in order to avoid overlapping schedules, it is best to select courses from the same major and year (i.e. Architecture, 4th year).
• While there are no registration restrictions for the courses offered by the International Programs Department, most upper level courses have prerequisites, which must be met in order to be able to enroll in them. 
• Every effort to accommodate your request for enrollment will be made, but some courses fill quickly and full courses are not overridden. Therefore, several preferences should be pre-authorzed by your Home University to ensure that your needs will be met. Placement is only guaranteed in courses offered by the International Programs Department.

UTDT does not work with a credit system. A complete explanation of how to determine workload equivalences can be found here

Only translations done in Argentina by a certified public translator and legalized by the College of Public Translators will be accepted. A list of certified translators may be found here.

The University is located in Núñez. Usually, exchange students live in shared apartments in Palermo or Belgrano and they reach the University using the D-subway line or buses. Palermo has many restaurants, stores and a lively night life. Belgrano has both residential and very commercial areas. See a neighborhood map here.

As part of the acceptance package students receive a listing of different housing alternatives. Each student is responsible for finding a suitable accommodation using this listing or other resources, such as websites for shared/ rental accommodation or expat blogs. The Facebook group for UTDT exchange students is a great resource for getting housing advice from former exchange students.

UTDT requires that all exchange students are covered by a health insurance. Coverage must include: medical diagnosis and treatment, preventive medicine, hospitalization, surgery and transplants, dental care, first aid and transportation to a hospital or clinic, medical equipment and appliances, treatment of chronic diseases, paramedical services and repatriation of mortal remains. Further information may be found here

The one-day mandatory orientation program, for students taking Bachelor courses, is held the Friday before each semester begins. On Saturday, optional cultural activities are offered for a small participation fee. Students only taking Master courses will receive further information via e-mail.

During the orientation, students receive information about course registration, visa matters and the services provided by the University. 

In order to lawfully accept employment, a student must obtain a National ID and a tax identification number (CUIL or CUIT). Since getting these documents can take a few months, students who come for under 6 months generally cannot work. If you are coming for a longer and want to work, make sure to go to obtain these documents as soon as you arrive in Argentina. The International Programs Office staff will be happy to guide you through the steps for obtaining these documents.

The Argentine law requires that all internships be paid. In order to be paid, students must obtain a National ID and a tax identification number (CUIL or CIT). Also, an agreement between the University, the student and the hiring company is required. Since getting these documents can take a few months, students coming for a semester generally cannot get internships. However, many students opt to volunteer. Volunteering opportunities are not paid. Listings of internships may be found at Idealistas, the Government of the City of Buenos Aires and Quiero Ayudar.

A list of the sports offered at UTDT may be found here. In order to participate, you will need to submit to the Sports and Leisure Time Department (deportes@utdt.edu) a medical certificate indicating that you are fit to practice that sport. This will only be valid if issued by an Argentine doctor. The International Programs Office can provide information on where to obtain such certificate.

All academic extracurricular activities are listed in the Agenda Ditelliana. Other cultural activities offered by UTDT´s Sports and Leisure Time Department may be found here.
