The purpose of this blog is to show the universities where we want to study the master degree or post graduation in Latin America. The countries are: Argentina, Brazil and Cuba.
My name is Marcela González, I study Political Science in the National University, I am interested in studying a master degree about Interdisciplinary Studies on Latin America, the Caribbean and Cuba in the Habana University.
My name is Karen Dayana Delvasto Sánchez, I am studying the four year of Petroleum Engineering in National University of Colombia, I would like to study abroad, that’s very interesting for me ‘cause I think that is an opportunity to expand knowledge, knowing and participate in another culture at the same time. So, I was looking for information in some Latin American universities in which I can study a postgraduate program, and I found the Buenos Aires University, in which I have two possibilities for taking a postgraduate, the first one is “reservoir engineering” and the second one is “Petroleum and derivate Engineering”. My name is Ashly Marcela Julio Alvarez, I study Industrial engineering in National University, I am interested in studying in São Paulo-Brazil a postgraduate in statistics.
I
am going to study a master degree about Interdisciplinary studies on latin
america, the caribbean and cuba in the Havana University because for me the best
country to study is Cuba for several reasons:
University of Havana is the oldest university in the island nation. Founded in 1728, it also, one of the first universities to be founded in the Americas.
In the University exist seven area of study: Liberal Thought, Law, Literature, Science, Art, and Medicine The University of Havana is made up of 16 faculties and 14 research centers in different fields like economics, sciences, social science and humanities.

Location
For
me is very important to study in this university, this master degree because
I want to know more about the history, culture and traditions of Latin
America and the Caribbean region.
I want to know why in Latin America exists poverty, if our land is very rich, for example: We have too much water for
energy, minerals, mountains, fertile land for agriculture, etc.
Why?
rich land
In addition to this in Latin America there are people that want decent work...
Furthermore, this master degree has as purpose deepening the use of advanced research techniques and general knowledge
for interdisciplinary work of the various problems to study in Latin
America, the Caribbean and Cuba. For example: the inequality, the injustice,
the poverty, but, also, the rich culture and biodiversity of our land.
The Master has two profiles
1. Latin American and Caribbean
Interdisciplinary Studies.
2. Cuban interdisciplinary studies.
I am inclined for the first opción
because I like all related with Latin America studies. so, I must know more
about opportunity than offers the cuban government, and the agreement between
universities, etc.

The Faculty of Engineering offers:
There are two kinds of studies: master degree and specialization, in different branches of engineering, you can chose what you want, but in this case I am studying Petroleum Engineering so, I chose the program of specialization " reservoir engineering" for then apply to "Engineering in oil and Natural Gas" master degree.
The requirements to apply are:
If you are foreign, mainly you must process your student visa, before you go to Argentina, because is very difficult traveling with touristic visa and then trying to process the student visa locally.
Noticeably, have graduated in any branch of Engineering, Natural Sciences or Geology, or be a graduate of a four-year degree at least equivalent.
Are there scholarships for foreign students? The Faculty of Engineering has no scholarship scheme for foreign students for graduate courses. Exceptionally there may be a specific agreement signed between the student's home university and the University of Buenos Aires that includes exchange scholarships. In this case we suggest you find the home university if this possibility exists.
