Universidad Austral (Argentina)

As a higher education institution, Universidad Austral intends to serve society by seeking the truth in all its dimensions, advancing and disseminating knowledge with a universal outlook.

This broad view of reality drives Universidad Austral to open to others and to foster the interdisciplinary spirit that characterizes university work, providing an environment that favors interactions among people.

Day after day, Universidad Austral expands its community, engaging academics, professionals, practitioners, students and graduates, against a backdrop of intellectual freedom, responsibility, cultural diversity, and the respect for others. At Universidad Austral, many people who think differently put their knowledge and expertise to the test in order to create new ideas that can potentially benefit society.

Universidad Austral’s mission focuses on the individual as the center of all its teaching, research, transfer, medical assistance, and university extension undertakings. Its humanistic approach concentrates in the development of virtues –such as honesty, friendship, hard work, effort, and the ongoing desire to learn– with a professional and social application.

Thus, Universidad Austral aspires to endow our community members’ personal talents with social and public intellectual leadership to make a more human contribution to transforming society. It promotes collaborative work among universities and society stakeholders, both locally and internationally, building a realm of constant learning and advancement.
