Universidad Provincial de Ezeiza

What Universidad Provincial de Ezeiza does

Universidad Provincial de Ezeiza (UPE) is a public provincial university located in Ezeiza, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, founded in 2018 and owned and funded by the Province of Buenos Aires. The institution offers undergraduate degree programs in International Trade, Airport Management, Logistics, Tourism, Software Development, and Occupational Safety, alongside postgraduate programs, professional continuing education (Escuela de Educación Profesional UPE), the WITE work-integrated training program, a language center, and diploma programs. The university is a founding member of the Red de Universidades Provinciales and participates in CIN, RUNBO, and the Red Universitaria de Transporte, embedding it in Argentina's inter-university policy and research networks.

The university operates its academic and student lifecycle on three core platforms: SIGUPE for student information and enrollment, GUARANÍ for academic management, and EVEA as the virtual learning environment. Research activity is organized through the Secretaría de Investigación, Ciencia y Tecnología, with student research funded via the BIIUPE scholarship program (currently in its 7th edition, 2026-2027) and faculty research supported through UPECyT, complemented by partnerships with CONICET and the Comisión de Investigaciones Científicas de Buenos Aires (CIC) that channel doctoral and postdoctoral fellows into the institution, including themed research in Territorial Development, Climate Change, and Environment.

UPE's business model is that of a publicly funded provincial university: core operations are sustained by appropriations from the Province of Buenos Aires, augmented by tuition from enrolled students, research grants from national and provincial science agencies, and a growing portfolio of industry cooperation agreements (with logistics, last-mile delivery, hospitality, and technology partners) that primarily support internships and work-integrated learning rather than direct tuition revenue. Go-to-market relies on direct enrollment through on-campus registration and the online SIGUPE/GUARANÍ systems, supported by an organic social presence across Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, plus an institutional website news section. The university does not disclose revenue, headcount, or tuition pricing.
