If you are an international student and are begining your semester at UCA, perhaps you are thinking in issues like these:

“I want to adapt myself quickly and organize my course of studies to further enjoy every moment”

“In the university where I come from I have a good grade point average and I want to maintain it”

“I have doubts about the way exams are evaluated in Argentina; I don't know what to study or how to study to have good results”

“It is getting difficult for me to study or understand a professor so, it would be great if somebody could help me”

“I am doing well and I have no difficulty in following the classes or studying, but I want to improve my study methodology”

We know how to help you and we have the time to do it!

ACADEMIC COUNSELLING PROGRAM / PAPEE

The purpose of our program is that you can achieve a better quality of learning.

To get you there, we offer you five meetings with a tutor who will accompany you in the different academic difficulties that come up.

Therefore, we give you the chance to be helped by a student of our School of Education during your study at UCA.

We want you to enjoy the classes and familiarize as soon as possible with our education system.

Identifying your strengths and weaknesses we would help you to increase your virtues and enhance those things that you consider harder to do.

I hope you may take advantage of this willingness the students of UCA have so as to join you and help you during your stay in this University.
