05 · Why Salto
A university city on a human scale
With around 125,000 inhabitants, Salto is Uruguay's second city and the main university hub outside Montevideo. It is home to the main site of Udelar's Centro Universitario Regional Litoral Norte, where full degrees such as Medicine, Law, Agronomy, Veterinary Science and Nursing can be completed 500 kilometres from the capital.
Add to that public teacher training at the IFD and the CeRP del Litoral, UTU's technology hub focused on tourism and technology, the Universidad Católica's regional campus and a network of technical and language institutes. It is a city on a human scale: everything is within cycling distance and the cost of living is noticeably lower than in Montevideo.
- 01Free public education. Udelar, UTU and teacher training charge no tuition or fees; only the private and language institutes are fee-paying.
- 02Border and binational life. Concordia, in Argentina, is fifteen minutes away across the Salto Grande dam; the Polo Binacional Educativo adds academic opportunities on both sides of the river.
- 03Agriculture, water and energy. Agronomy, Veterinary Science, Water Resources and the agricultural technical degrees have their natural home here: citrus, horticulture, livestock and the dam.
- 04The hot springs as a classroom. The tourism programmes at Udelar, UTU's IAE and CTC are taught in the country's most visited hot springs destination.
