Why Study in Uruguay?
Uruguay leads Latin America in literacy and connectivity. The country offers free, high-quality public education from early years to postgraduate levels. In Montevideo, you can reach any campus in under 30 minutes, enjoying a vibrant, safe, and multicultural student life. Plus, the March-to-December academic calendar lets you experience Uruguay’s world-class beaches during the summer season.
Montevideo as a city has a lot to contribute to the world. I felt inspired and compelled to enjoy life and the many different interactions that we have as humans. This is a beautiful country, I made so many friends who were instrumental in my experience and from whom I learned a lot.

For us europeans, if we are open to fully experience the Latin American culture while we are there, it can change us completely. Uruguay changed my life and I am forever grateful for having been able to live this experience. This is a feeling I would never have expected to feel but it is an amazing one. Living in Uruguay enriched my life in every way possible. I can only say: thank you, Uruguay
