Study at Universidad Católica de Córdoba

Be part of a small campus doing amazing, global things.

Universidad Católica de Córdoba (UCC) is the oldest private university in Argentina. Located in Cordoba, the capital of the province and Argentina’s second largest city, the university offers expert research programs in many fields.

Off campus, students can enjoy all the city has to offer: cultural activities, sports facilities, music, and theaters. Nearby lakes and mountains also draw visitors and will captivate semester students looking for outdoor recreation.
