There are many reasons that can influence your decision to complete your master’s degree in Argentina.
Why do a master’s degree abroad?
Doing your master’s degree abroad is an invaluable opportunity to immerse yourself in a foreign culture, become fluent in another language, and network internationally. A master’s degree abroad is a valuable investment, in particular because the diversity of the programs Argentine universities offer and the fact that an Argentine master’s degree is valid almost everywhere in the world.
Doing a master’s degree abroad can also give you an edge if you decide to return to your home country and work for an international company. More and more, companies are looking for graduates who think on an international level and can understand the interconnection between global markets. Completing a master’s degree abroad will help you develop these skills, making you an attractive candidate to hiring managers in an increasingly competitive job market.
Studying at the graduate level can be a major financial investment. There has been a general trend towards marked increases in tuition in recent years, even in countries where tuition fees have generally been much lower than average. For example, Canada has seen tuition fees more than double in the last ten years, and other countries, such as the U.S. and Australia, have also seen significant price increases. This trend has lead to students looking toward other options, such as doing their graduate studies abroad, in order to further their education at an affordable price, avoiding major loans and student debt in the future.
This is when the idea of doing graduate school in Argentina starts forming in many students’ minds. The cost of living is a lot cheaper, and tuition prices are some of the most accessible in the world. Yet some students might have questions: Is it possible to study in a top quality university on another continent? Will my master’s degree abroad be universally recognized?

The Benefits of Studying Abroad:
A recently published article, “New Study Confirms Significant Gains”, By Mary M. Dwyer, Ph.D. and Courtney K. Peters is the first large-scale survey that explores the long-term impact of study abroad on a student’s personal, professional, and academic life. The study showed that study abroad positively and unequivocally influences the career path, world-view, and self-confidence of students.
Regardless of where students studied and for how long, the data from the more than 3,400 respondents (a 23 percent response rate) demonstrates that studying abroad is usually a defining moment in a young person’s life and continues to influence the participant’s life for years after the experience.
Few other experiences in life have proven to have such a positive and sustainable impact. With study abroad offering so many life-changing and enduring academic, career, intercultural, personal, and social benefits, students should carefully consider studying abroad when searching for colleges and during their undergraduate careers.
