  • The University of Buenos Aires (UBA) maintained its position at 84th in the QS World University Rankings, remaining the only Latin American university in the top 100.
  • However, the overall performance of Argentine universities in the rankings has declined, with most institutions falling in position.
  • The QS rankings evaluated 1,500 universities from 106 countries.

The University of Buenos Aires (UBA) has successfully held its ground in the latest QS World University Rankings, securing the 84th position globally. This placement ensures UBA remains the sole representative from Latin America within the world's top 100 universities.

Despite UBA's stable performance, the broader landscape for Argentine higher education in international rankings appears challenging. The majority of universities in Argentina have experienced a decline in their positions, indicating a general downward trend for the country's academic standing on the global stage.

The QS rankings, a comprehensive assessment of academic institutions, evaluated 1,500 universities across 106 countries. While UBA's resilience is notable, the collective regression of other Argentine universities raises concerns about the sector's competitiveness and future trajectory.
