Universidad Austral in Coursera

Universidad Austral is the first Argentine university to forge an agreement with Coursera, the world’s leading online education platform.

We are pursuing a scheme that integrates innovation and new technologies to the wealth of knowledge found in classrooms and in the one-on-one relationship among faculty and students.

We firmly believe that superior quality learning and teaching should join the new higher education paradigm enabled by cutting-edge technologies, addressing the needs of a new cohort of students who have unique traits.
