BSc Banking and Finance
graduate, Uruguay
‘I would definitely recommend
University of London degrees
because they combine topnotch quality with the flexibility
that comes with being able to
study from your own country. My
University of London degree gives
me a great advantage at work
because I still use most of the
things I learned, which weren’t
all available at local universities.’
Juan studied for his University
of London degree alongside a
local degree from the University
of Montevideo, where he
now teaches undergraduate

Mariana Grings
MSc Clinical Trials, Brazil
‘The distance-learning
method was perfect
because it allowed
me to fit my studies
with my work, and
it gives you flexibility to prioritise
your different tasks. The school
professors are renowned so it was
a pleasure to interact with them
during online discussions. My career
plans include moving from the
operational aspects of clinical trials
towards the design and consulting,
with a special focus on paediatric
trials. Everything I learned is now
helping me during this transition.’

a contract research organisation,
where she supports the regulatory

Valdivieso Mendoza
BSc Economics, Peru
‘My experience with
the University of
London International
Programmes so far
has involved a lot of
effort and compromise. I have had
to find the balance between being
independent enough to work by
myself and humble enough to
ask for help when necessary. The
discussion forum and virtual learning
environment are extremely useful
for this purpose, and I consider
myself lucky to have friends who
are also studying at my institution,
since we are constantly supporting
and encouraging each other.’
Jennifer Lucía is currently studying
for a University of London degree in
parallel with an Economics degree
at the Universidad del Pacífico.

Obtenga un título
de la Universidad de
Londres con
reconocimiento
internacional en
Sudamérica
Los Programas Internacionales de la
Universidad de Londres (University of
London International Programmes)
permiten que los alumnos estudien
para obtener un prestigioso título de la
Universidad de Londres en Sudamérica.
Los alumnos pueden estudiar
simultáneamente para obtener un título
de la Universidad de Londres y un título
en alguna universidad sudamericana.
Acerca de la Universidad de
Londres
Un título de la Universidad de Londres
es una marca de excelencia reconocida
por organizaciones y universidades de
todo el mundo. La Universidad de
Londres, fundada en 1836, es una
universidad federal compuesta por 17
facultades reconocidas y 12 institutos
de investigación especializados.
Algunos de estos colegios, como
London School of Economics (LSE),
King’s College London y University
College London (UCL), están entre las
mejores universidades del Reino Unido.
En 1858, la Universidad de Londres
estableció los Programas
Internacionales de la Universidad de
Londres para permitir que alumnos de
todo el mundo accedieran a la mejor
educación de Gran Bretaña.
Actualmente los Programas
Internacionales cuentan con más de
14
50,000 alumnos en más de 180 países.
Entre los ex alumnos, se incluyen siete
ganadores de Premios Nobel, como
Nelson Mandela y el destacado escritor
caribeño Derek Walcott.
Cómo funcionan los Programas
Internacionales
Los Programas Internacionales ofrecen
a alumnos de todo el mundo la
oportunidad de estudiar para obtener
títulos de la Universidad de Londres a
distancia y de manera flexible. Todos
los cursos ofrecidos por los Programas
Internacionales son desarrollados y
evaluados por las facultades de la
Universidad de Londres. Los alumnos
pueden estudiar por su cuenta o con
el respaldo de algún centro de nuestra
red de enseñanza local. La Universidad
de Londres proporciona el programa y
los materiales de aprendizaje, mientras
que los centros locales dictan las clases
y respaldan en el aprendizaje. Los
exámenes se fijan y se corrigen en
Londres pero los alumnos puedan
examinarse en su país.
Obtenga títulos locales y
británicos
En Sudamérica, los alumnos pueden
estudiar para obtener un título de la
Universidad de Londres al mismo
tiempo que estudian en alguna
universidad sudamericana. Tener un
título británico y uno local dará a los
alumnos una ventaja competitiva
en el mercado laboral y les abrirá
oportunidades para trabajar en el exterior.
Alto nivel académico
Los alumnos pueden confiar en el nivel
del título de la Universidad de Londres.
El nivel de evaluación es igual para
cualquier modalidad de estudio, ya sea
en el campus de una facultad de la
Universidad de Londres o a través de los
Programas Internacionales. Eso ayuda a
garantizar que los títulos de la Universidad
de Londres tengan el mismo nivel
académico elevado, independientemente
de cómo se obtengan.
Títulos valorados por
organizaciones y empresas
Los títulos de la Universidad de Londres
cuentan con reconocimiento
internacional y abren las puertas a
carreras lucrativas. Los graduados de los
Programas Internacionales han obtenido
ascensos o abordado nuevas carreras
en las principales organizaciones
internacionales, entre ellas firmas de
servicios profesionales, como Deloitte y
KPMG; bancos como Santander y
Citibank; y ONGs como la Organización
Mundial de la Salud.
Una puerta a estudios de posgrado
Los graduados de la Universidad de
Londres han continuado sus estudios
de algunas de las mejores universidades
del mundo. Entre ellas se encuentran
Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, UCL, la Facultad
de Negocios de Londres (London
Business School) en el Reino Unido, así
como Dartmouth, National University of
Singapore, Peking University y muchas
más universidades internacionales.
Educación del Reino Unido a un
precio razonable
Estudiar con los Programas
Internacionales de la Universidad de
Londres es mucho más asequible que
viajar a Londres para estudiar en el
campus. La ausencia de gastos de
traslado y alojamiento representa un
gran ahorro monetario. Los alumnos
también pueden hacer pagos durante
el transcurso de sus estudios.

Bastone

‘Haber estudiado a
través del Programa
Internacional de la
Universidad de
Londres ha sido una
experiencia excepcional y altamente
recomendable. Me ha brindado la
oportunidad de graduarme en la
carrera de grado de derecho en
Inglaterra (LLB) mientras trabajaba y
continuaba mis estudios para
recibirme de abogada en mi propio
país. Ha sido una experiencia
sumamente enriquecedora, tanto a
nivel personal como profesional, que
me abrió la mente y expandió mis
horizontes de un modo impensado.’
