National Universities

"National Universities", also called "Public or State-run Universities", is the name used to refer to all those institutions whose creation arose from the enactment of a National Congress Act, except for those whose creation preceded that of the state itself (as is the case of the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba and the Universidad de Buenos Aires). They lie as Public Law legal entities and their regular operation funding comes from the national state, pursuant to what is set out on the annual national budget act.

National universities hold the largest share of the entire Argentine university system: counting over 80% of the undergraduate population and with campuses stretched throughout to all provinces comprising our national territory, they account for over 50% of the country's scientific research while additionally providing technical assistance to both the public and private sectors.

National universities, currently amounting to 38, are attended by an estimated 1275000 undergraduates.Their Presidents sit on the Consejo Interuniversitario Nacional (CIN -National Interuniversity Council), a stage of coordination and concurrence provided for by the 24521 Higher Education Act No. 24521.
