Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA): Official Website Guide to Admissions, Faculties, and Student Services

The official University of Buenos Aires website is uba.ar. Use it to reach the admission pathways (CBC and UBAXXI), the faculties and degree programs, postgraduate study, secondary schools, and student services such as tutoring, scholarships, sports, and disability support. The site's main menu is in Spanish, so the sections below are labeled with the Spanish terms you will see on screen.

Start at the official domain

The site identifies itself as "UBA principal" and organizes its navigation around a single menu. The homepage highlights three themes — academic excellence, research, and innovation — and links directly to the admission pages, faculties, schools, and postgraduate study.

Admission pathways: CBC and UBAXXI

The site lists two undergraduate entry routes under INGRESO UBA: CBC and UBAXXI. Both appear as primary navigation items, which means the choice between them is a first decision for applicants, not a detail buried in a faculty page.

• CBC is the traditional entry stage referenced throughout the menu.
• UBAXXI is presented alongside it as an alternative entry pathway.

The ESTUDIAR EN LA UBA section adds context for applicants: pre-entry orientation (Preingreso a la UBA), vocational and university guidance, a program for people over 25 without a completed secondary diploma (Programa mayores de 25 años sin secundario aprobado), and UBA XXII. It also includes a Preguntas frecuentes (FAQ) page, which is the sensible first stop when a specific admission rule is unclear.

How to use this: open the admission section, confirm which pathway applies to your situation, then check the FAQ before contacting a faculty. The site does not publish step-by-step enrollment instructions in the navigation itself, so treat the linked pages as the authoritative source for dates and requirements.

Faculties, degrees, and postgraduate study

FACULTADES Y CARRERAS is the entry point for choosing a field of study, and Carreras de Grado lists undergraduate degree programs. POSGRADOS covers postgraduate options. If you are an international applicant, the menu includes Estudiantes extranjeros under the study section.

A practical sequence for prospective students:

1. Use Orientación vocacional y universitaria if you have not settled on a field.
2. Open FACULTADES Y CARRERAS to see which faculty offers the program.
3. Check Carreras de Grado for the degree listing.
4. Return to INGRESO UBA to confirm the admission route for that faculty.

Student services and community resources

COMUNIDAD UBA groups the non-academic support that affects day-to-day student life:

• Deportes and E-Sport
• Tutorías universitarias (university tutoring)
• Turismo
• Discapacidad (disability support)
• Ayuda económica and Becas de grado (financial aid and undergraduate scholarships)
• Becas para escuelas medias (scholarships for secondary schools)
• Por más Graduad@s

The broader UNIVERSIDAD Y SOCIEDAD section links to the hospital network (RED de HOSPITALES), DOSUBA, UBA en Acción, UBA Digital, and sustainability pages. CULTURA covers the Centro Cultural Rojas, Cine Cosmos, the museum network, and EUDEBA, the university press.

Procedures and official records

TRÁMITES UBA is where administrative tasks are handled. The menu names three concrete services:

• Trámites A Distancia (TAD) — remote procedures
• Trámites académicos a distancia — remote academic procedures
• Estado del Título (SIET) — degree status lookup
• Legalizaciones — document legalization

If your question is about a certificate, degree status, or a formal document, start here rather than with a faculty page.

Research, international links, and transparency

For research matters, the INVESTIGACIÓN section covers scientific and technological research, scholarships, grants, incentives, institutes, clinical trials, technology transfer, and intellectual property, plus Hecho en UBA, Centro PYME, PIUBA, the virtual library, and UBATEC.

INTERNACIONALES (UBA Internacional) lists current calls (Convocatorias vigentes), bilateral cooperation centers, and international relations within academic units.

TRANSPARENCIA provides active and proactive transparency pages, open university information, statistical information, the UBA code, audits, and purchases and tenders. PROTOCOLO DE GÉNERO handles complaints and inquiries and links to the gender course and Ley Micaela.

Checking news and announcements

The homepage carries current items, such as the announcement that the Consejo Superior awarded an honorary doctorate and coverage of the #YOQUIEROESTUDIAR 2026 fair for secondary school students. COMUNICACIÓN links to UBA Noticias, UBA Ciencia, videos, UBA Radio, and UBA TV. These are useful for confirming that an announcement is official, since it appears on the university's own domain.

Common sticking points

• Language: the navigation is in Spanish. Match the Spanish labels above to the menu rather than searching for English equivalents.
• Two entry routes: CBC and UBAXXI are separate pathways; confirm which one applies before planning around dates.
• Scattered services: scholarships, tutoring, and disability support sit under COMUNIDAD UBA, while paperwork sits under TRÁMITES UBA — they are not in the same place.
• No pricing information on the homepage: the site does not state fees or costs in the navigation or homepage content reviewed, so do not assume anything about costs from the site structure alone.
