What UADE does

UADE (Universidad Argentina de la Empresa) is a private Argentine university founded in 1961 and headquartered at Lima 757, Buenos Aires, with 501-1,000 employees and 60,000+ alumni. It delivers higher education across six undergraduate faculties (Architecture and Urbanism, Economic Sciences, Communication, Design, Legal and Social Sciences, Health Sciences, and Engineering and Exact Sciences), a graduate UADE Business School offering MBAs, specializations, and executive education, and a fully online modality (UADE Online). Teaching is delivered across four physical campuses — Campus Buenos Aires, UADE Belgrano, UADE Recoleta, and Campus Costa Argentina in Pinamar — plus online and blended modalities.

The institution supplements academics with specialized infrastructure including the Fin Lab (with Bloomberg terminals and BMC certification), Tax Lab, UADE Xperience immersive/VR platform, UADE Hub (entrepreneurship), UADE Art (cultural programming), and four research institutes (INSOD, INECO, INTEC, CIS). The technology backbone is a learning management system plus these domain-specific labs, with light AI integration into finance curricula. UADE holds CONEAU national accreditation and international credentials including ACBSP, TedQual (UNWTO), IAA, PRSA, and IFT.

UADE's revenue model is tuition-based and recurring, with three principal streams — undergraduate and graduate tuition, postgraduate programs (MBA, master's, specializations), and executive education — all priced in Argentine Pesos across in-person, blended, and online modalities. The institution reports growth rates of 6.25% to 60.19% across MBA and specialization programs and monetizes its 100+ international university partnerships through exchange and double-degree programs. Corporate recruitment relationships with Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, Accenture, JP Morgan, Globant, L'Oréal, Unilever, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Quilmes function as downstream placement channels rather than revenue customers.
