Universidad Nacional de Jujuy

What Universidad Nacional de Jujuy does

Universidad Nacional de Jujuy (UNJu) is a public national university headquartered in San Salvador de Jujuy, Argentina, operating as part of the Argentine national university system under the Ley de Educación Superior No. 24521. The institution provides tuition-free undergraduate and graduate education across seven faculties — Agricultural Sciences, Economic Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences, Engineering, Health Sciences, Law and Political Sciences — supplemented by the Escuela de Minas, Escuela de Formación Profesional, and three regional campuses in San Pedro, Quebrada y Puna, and Valle. Its primary constituents are students from Jujuy province, with secondary outreach to the broader provincial population through community programs.

UNJu's operational infrastructure is built on a portfolio of internally deployed digital platforms. UNJu Virtual (virtual.unju.edu.ar) provides distance-learning delivery across academic units under Resolution C.S. Nº 086-21; RIUNJu operates as a DSpace-based open-access institutional repository aligned with national Law 26.899 and governed by Resolution CS 0111/19; SIU-Diaguita manages electronic public procurement; and ARAI UNJu administers digital payroll receipts. The university also operates media assets (UNJu TV, UNJu Radio), a publishing house (EdiUNJu), student welfare services (Comedor Universitario, Residencia Universitaria), and a multi-tier scholarship system (Becas Comedor, Becas Residencia, Becas Manuel Belgrano). Internal control is exercised through the Unidad de Auditoría Interna, established by Resolution R. 871/94 under the framework of Article 59 bis of Law 24521.

As a state-funded public institution, UNJu's economic model rests on Argentine national government budget allocations rather than commercial sales; all educational services are provided at no cost to students. The institution extended its mission in May 2023 with the launch of Ciudadanía Digital UNJu, a free asynchronous digital literacy program offering 10 thematic modules to all Jujuy residents aged 16 and older. A formalized third-party services catalog (Catálogo de Servicios a Terceros) introduces a modest external revenue channel, while inclusion programming (UNJu.Pro.Dis) and academic events round out the institution's public-facing activity.
