Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I take graduate courses at institutions that do not have an agreement with Universidad ORT Uruguay?
Yes. Since Universidad ORT Uruguay is Universidad ORT Uruguay officially recognized institution of higher education, graduates of its undergraduate programs may be admitted to a graduate program at any institution, without the need for specific agreements with the foreign institution.
Most university graduates who have completed or are currently pursuing graduate studies abroad chose institutions with which we do not have agreements.
This has happened, among other reasons, because there are many other important factors involved in the decision besides the agreements (for example, the language of instruction, the geographic location, the field of study, the focus of the graduate program, specific aspects of the chosen institution, and the presence of friends or family members near the institution, among others).
-
What benefits do these agreements offer me?
These agreements facilitate collaborative activities between the institutions.
As for students and graduates, agreements regarding graduate programs generally limit themselves to designating points of contact at the institutions to resolve any issues that may arise during the admission or student exchange process.
In some cases, the agreements outline detailed procedures for credit transfer or tuition reductions.
The existence of the agreement means that some form of collaboration has taken place or is currently underway, and that there is personal contact at the other institution.
-
Do these agreements guarantee me automatic admission to a graduate program?
No. These agreements never guarantee a student’s admission to a graduate program when the chosen institution has a selective admissions process.
Admission is based on each university's criteria and depends on each student's individual qualifications (such as their GRE and TOEFL scores, GPA, and other factors) rather than on their previous institution.
Universidad ORT Uruguay the same criteria when admitting international students to its graduate programs.
-
What criteria should I use when choosing a school for graduate studies?

-
Are university systems similar abroad?
There are significant differences between the university systems of different countries and in the availability of scholarships for graduate studies.
-
Which organizations offer scholarships for graduate studies abroad?
It is not possible to provide a complete list, but you should check with the following organizations: AECID (Spain), the British Council (United Kingdom), DAAD (Germany), the Fulbright Commission (United States), or the embassy of your destination country.
In very rare cases, an exceptional student may be able to secure some form of scholarship or financial aid directly from the host university.
In general, this is only recommended for students with an excellent GPA and a perfect command of the language of the host country.
-
Will I be able to work and study for a postgraduate degree abroad at the same time?
You probably won't be able to, especially at top-tier institutions.
Neither your class schedule, the workload expected of a graduate student, nor the way the institution operates (for example, administrative hours or the hours of laboratories and libraries) will allow you to do so.
A few institutions offer short-term (one year or less) programmes graduate programmes , but these are the exception rather than the rule.
Legal considerations must also be taken into account: student visas typically do not allow for paid work in many countries.
