UM offers wide range of international programs to fit each international student´s interests. Students can study abroad for a semester or a year as an independent student, an exchange student, as a visiting researcher, or as part of an internship.

International Students also have the option of taking a Spanish Language Course designed as a tool to help them succeed as second language speakers in courses taught in Spanish.

Also known within the Euro zone as Free Movers, international students can enroll as independent students at UM outside of the framework of an exchange program. International students can study for one semester or a year and fulfill their degree requirements while paying tuition for their courses.

The Student Exchange Program is coordinated between UM and its partner universities from around the world. Students pay their home university tuition while studying abroad at UM. These exchanges allow students to experience cultural immersion, acquire a foreign language, and develop a deeper appreciation of the host country during one semester or a year.

Visiting undergraduate and graduate students as well as visiting academic scholars may undertake research at UM working on a topic supervised by a professor on the student´s subject of interest.

Internships are available for international students. They can apply for this credit-bearing course to work with Uruguayan organizations or within the University itself. These students must also attend a minimum of two courses at the University. It is a great opportunity for students to acquire a global vision and demonstrate adaptability in an international setting.
