Fees and admission
Undergraduate study at Argentina's national universities is free of tuition, and most admit without an entrance exam. Whether and what a national university may charge non-resident foreign students has been changing since 2024 and is set by each university — check with the university. Private universities charge fees, which are not published as data.
