Global Consulting Program Location: Argentina

Buenos Aires is a city that captures the imagination and inspires exploration. Known as the "Paris of South America," Buenos Aires blends European elegance with Latin American energy, offering an unforgettable international experience. From strolling through the colorful neighborhood of La Boca or the elegant and historic neighborhood of Recoleta, to experiencing world-class cuisine, vibrant street art, and the passion of tango — the city is alive with culture and opportunity! Through CIBED's partnership with Universidad de San Andrés, one of Argentina's leading universities, students will engage with local professionals, collaborate across cultures, and gain firsthand insight into the business, history, and traditions that make Buenos Aires one of Latin America's most dynamic and influential destinations — and an exciting, welcoming, and transformative destination for personal and professional growth.
