La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina

twoColumn twoLeft
Often thought of as a baby sister to Buenos Aires, La Plata is located just an hour outside of its more fast-paced sibling. The leafy streets of the capital of Buenos Aires province follow an elaborate plan of diagonal avenues crossing a regular grid patter to connect the major plazas, creating a distinctive start design - contributing to the city's nick name "The City of Diagonals". La Plata is a pleasant city with a vibrant nightlife, expansive parkland and a number of worthwhile sights, including an excellent natural history museum (Museo de La Plata) and a neo-Gothic cathedral (Catedral de La Plata) - the largest in Argentina.

About Universidad Nacional de La Plata Facultad de Ciencias Económicas

The School of Economic Sciences of Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) was created on December 17, 1953. Since then, and thanks to the contribution of professors, teachers, students and graduate students, the institution has transformed into a major organisation for the academic, scientific and professional development of Argentina.The School of Economic Sciences was inspired by the principles of the University Reform, on the basis of an open, public, secular, free of charge, autonomous and democratically co-governed national university. All the degree, undergraduate and postgraduate courses offered by the School, as well as the many research and university extension projects are the preferred means for creating, preserving, transmitting and transferring knowledge, aiming at the construction of a more just and equitable society.
