Facultad de Derecho - UNICEN

What Facultad de Derecho - UNICEN does

Facultad de Derecho - UNICEN is the law faculty of Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, a public national university in Argentina. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Azul, Buenos Aires Province, the faculty delivers higher-education services to undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing-education students. Its core academic portfolio comprises a five-year Abogacía (law) degree covering 39 subjects plus practical training (240 hours of supervised professional practice and 80 hours of socio-educational practices), and a two-and-a-half-year Tecnicatura en Gestión Pública technical degree with five specialization tracks. Supplementary services include the Consultorio Jurídico Gratuito (free legal clinic), the Clínica Jurídica de Interés Público (public interest law clinic), a Language Center offering English, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Mandarin courses, and a continuing catalog of postgraduate courses.

The institution runs on a standard higher-education technology stack: SIU-Guaraní for student information and enrollment, Moodle for undergraduate virtual learning (with a separate Moodle Posgrado instance), Zoom for hybrid course delivery, and Google Forms for course/event registration. The Abogacía program holds a 6-year CONEAU accreditation, the maximum regulatory quality-assurance cycle in Argentina. Operational structure is divided across six academic departments (Derecho Privado, Derecho Público, Filosofía, Derecho Procesal, Práctica Profesional, Enseñanza del Derecho y Pedagogía, and Gestión Pública y Administración), each with a Director and Secretary.

As a constituent faculty of a public national university, the entity operates under Argentine public-education law with state funding as its primary revenue base. Undergraduate tuition is free (sin arancel); fee revenue is generated only through postgraduate courses, language courses, and selective paid programs. Go-to-market is community-led via high-school outreach, direct admission pathways, continuing-education channels, and digital/email communications. Customer concentration is by definition diffuse — the institution serves a mass student base drawn from the central Buenos Aires Province region, with no enterprise or commercial anchor customers.
