“I chose to pursue a Master's degree in Agribusiness at the Universidad Austral because of its academic quality and prestige. I was sure the training was going to be very good and in fact it exceeded my expectations. I was able to obtain the necessary tools to perform better in the professional world.
Likewise, I find the networking space it offers very valuable. It's very positive to meet people from other business areas, other regions of the country, and even other countries. The diversity and synergy of the different profiles is very enriching.”

Miguel Figueroa

“I chose to pursue a Master's degree in Agribusiness at Universidad Austral "I was looking to expand my existing skills, and this program offered what I couldn't find elsewhere: its focus on agribusiness, a high-quality faculty, networking opportunities with top-level professionals, and a learning environment that challenges you to think differently, improve your decision-making, and analyze various problems."

Miguel Figueroa - Independent
Nicholas Forenza

“I wholeheartedly recommend the Master's in Agribusiness. It's truly worthwhile. The most enriching aspect was being able to compare the company I work for with situations other companies have faced, learn about different experiences and circumstances, and discuss in class the decisions that were made and how others solved different problems. Plus, we formed a fantastic group. Regardless of whether or not a business partnership might develop between us in the future, the real value lies in knowing you have a new group of friends, a contact in a specific field you can ask for information. I'd say networking is everything.”

Nicolás Forenza - Agricultural Engineer
