About us
UNJu
The University was created in March 1972 as a Provincial University and during the following year it became a National University. It began to function on the basis of 4 careers: Agronomic, Mine, Metallurgical and Chemical Engineering. Its purpose was to support the exploitation and industrialization activities of the natural resources in Jujuy.
At present, there are 4 academic units at the University: Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Economic Sciences, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, 3 Higher Schools: Legal and Political Sciences; Health Sciences, and Arts and Culture, 1 Pre-university Teaching Establishment: School of Mines and 1 School of Professional Education. The academic offer consists of 21 under graduate and 31 Bachelor´s degrees; with a student population of approximately 30,000 students at the campuses: Central (San Salvador de Jujuy), Quebrada and Puna; San Pedro and Valleys. It also offers 29 postgraduate degrees and it has14 Research Institutes (with rectory dependency). Mission: to train people committed to the Community, by participating in its social, economic and political development; and safeguarding its natural and cultural heritage. The scope of competence in its area of knowledge is international and it contributes actively to the sustainable development of the Province, Region and Country.
SubSIIR
The former Area of International Relations, currently SubSIIR (Deputy secretary for Internationalization and Regional Integration), emerges as an institutional response to the vertiginous changes that occur in the field of International Relations. This dynamic process generates spaces of convergence and institutional divergence as well. UNJu establishes, among its policies, the strengthening of teachers, researchers, students and administrative staff´s participation in spaces of cooperation and exchange with foreign universities.This institution also expresses the solid determination to deepen relations with those academic institutions that make up Latin America.
Along with the highly competent team members of SubSIIR, there is an Advisory Council represented by teachers and students from different academic units and researchers from Research Institutes which seek to achieve the following Objectives:
General Objective:
To promote the effective participation of UNJu in the processes of internationalization of higher education and joint cooperation with foreign organizations and university institutions.
Specific Objectives:
- To articulate university internationalization policies with regional development strategies by establishing framework agreements and specific activities with different universities.
- To encourage the participation of UNJu community in international networks.
- To intervene actively into inter-university cooperation programs for teachers and researchers.
- To participate in student exchange programs with academic recognition.
- To promote the interaction between UNJu staff and their peers from foreign universities, thus improving their corresponding systems.
- To stimulate the liaison between local academics and foreigners to promote the constitution of transnational groups.
Activities
- To sign agreements of cooperation, academic exchange, science and management -open to areas that make up the university- with higher education institutions from different countries around the world.
