The number of foreign students who enrolled in the National University of La Plata increased by 52% in 2024 compared to the previous year. In the Faculty of Medicine, one of every four students (25%) who study the degree were born outside the country.
The data is known in the midst of a proposal by the new government to pay fees to non-resident undergraduate students. Once again, like 12 months ago, the community that heads the ranking is Ecuador with 1,786 enrolled. That is, almost half of the foreign students arrive from that Central American country.
