What Laboratorio De Idiomas Uba - Sede Microcentro does

The Secretaría de Posgrado - FFyL is the graduate studies secretariat of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters (Facultad de Filosofía y Letras) at the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA), Argentina's largest and most prestigious public university. The unit administers graduate-level academic programs including doctoral degrees, master's degrees, specialization degrees, update programs, university diplomas, and individual postgraduate courses in humanities and social sciences. It operates from its main location at Puan 430 in the Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, with hours Monday–Friday 13:00–18:00, and a satellite presence at the Centro Universitario Tilcara in Jujuy province.

The portfolio spans six product lines: doctorados, maestrías (minimum 704 hours), carreras de especialización (minimum 368 hours), programas de actualización (e.g., 'Gestión del Ambiente y el Territorio', 160 hours), diplomaturas, and individual cursos de posgrado. Delivery modalities include in-person, virtual (synchronous and asynchronous), and hybrid formats via a Campus Virtual platform. Academic administration, enrollment, and course registration are managed through the SIU Guaraní system, a university-wide administrative platform rather than proprietary technology.

Revenue is generated primarily through government allocation to UBA, supplemented by tuition fees structured in three categories based on the student's institutional affiliation (FFyL/UBA affiliates, other national public university graduates, and private/foreign university graduates), with per-hour fees for external non-degree students. Programs hold CONEAU accreditation, ensuring degree recognition. The operating model is not venture-backed and is part of Argentina's public university system.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• FLACSO Argentina: Regional postgraduate social-sciences institution offering master's, specializations, and doctoral programs in Argentina. Directly comparable to FFyL-UBA's graduate secretariat in academic level, CONEAU accreditation, and humanities/social-science focus.
• Universidad Nacional de La Plata - Posgrado: Major Argentine public university offering CONEAU-accredited graduate programs in humanities and social sciences. Directly comparable as a public-sector peer with similar pricing model and program mix.

Broad incumbents

• Universidad de San Andrés (UdeSA) - Posgrado: Private Argentine university with graduate programs in humanities and social sciences. Comparable in academic scope but with private-sector pricing and smaller cohorts; competes for the same pool of graduate students in Buenos Aires.
• Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina (UCA) - Posgrado: Private Argentine university with a substantial graduate school covering humanities, social sciences, and professional fields. Comparable as a competing postgraduate provider in Buenos Aires with a broader, more capitalized offering.
• Universidad Torcuato Di Tella (UTDT) - Posgrado: Private Buenos Aires university offering master's and doctoral programs in social sciences and humanities. Comparable as a high-quality competing postgraduate provider, differentiated by private funding and smaller scale.

Regional players

• CEA Study Abroad Buenos Aires: Third-party study abroad provider offering courses in Buenos Aires in partnership with local universities. Comparable as a competing channel for international students considering academic work in Argentina.
• IES Abroad Buenos Aires: International study abroad provider running programs in Buenos Aires. Comparable as a foreign-student-facing academic channel in the same city, though focused on US undergraduates rather than graduate credentials.
• API (Academic Programs International) Buenos Aires: US-based study abroad provider with programs in Buenos Aires. Comparable as a competitor for inbound international student interest, though focused on undergraduate rather than graduate-level enrollment.
• Universidad Nacional de Córdoba - Posgrado: One of Argentina's oldest public universities with a substantial graduate school in humanities and letters. Comparable in CONEAU-accredited credentialing and academic scope but serves a different regional market (Córdoba vs. Buenos Aires).

Others

• CONICET (Doctorado y Becas): Argentina's national research council, which co-funds doctoral students and researchers with UBA. Comparable as an ecosystem peer shaping demand for UBA's graduate programs and faculty pipeline.
