National University of Córdoba

The National University of Córdoba, known in Spanish as Universidad Nacional de Córdoba and abbreviated UNC, is a public university in the city of Córdoba, Argentina, founded in 1613 as the oldest university in Argentina and the third-oldest surviving university in the Americas.科尔多瓦国立大学（西班牙语：Universidad Nacional de Córdoba，简称 UNC）是位于阿根廷科尔多瓦市的一所公立大学，1613 年创办，是阿根廷最古老的大学，也是美洲现存第三古老的大学。

It should not be confused with the Universidad de Córdoba in Spain or the Universidad de Córdoba in Colombia, and it is distinct from the older Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Peru, which ranks first among colonial universities.该校不应与西班牙的科尔多瓦大学或哥伦比亚的科尔多瓦大学混淆，也不同于秘鲁更古老的圣马科斯国立大学，后者在殖民大学中居首。

Since the early twentieth century it has been the second-largest university in Argentina after the University of Buenos Aires by enrolment, faculty and programmes, and it is placed in the 801-850 band of the QS World University Rankings 2027.自二十世纪早期起，它便是仅次于布宜诺斯艾利斯大学、按学生人数、师资与学程规模计的第二大阿根廷高校，在 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名中列入第 801-850 位。

History

• In 1610 the Society of Jesus founded the Collegium Maximum in Córdoba, attended by students of the order and serving as the precursor of the university.1610 年，耶稣会在科尔多瓦创办最高学院，供该修会学生就读，是这所大学的前身。

• The 1610 Jesuit house was an institution of the highest intellectual calibre for its time and already trained students of the order long before it could grant any degree.1610 年的耶稣会院是当时智识水准最高的机构，早在可授予学位之前，就已培养该修会的学员。

• During the administration of Juan Fernando de Trejo y Sanabria, Bishop of Tucumán, advanced studies began at what was then the Colegio Máximo de Córdoba, though the school still lacked authority to confer degrees.在图昆主教胡安·费尔南多·德特雷霍·伊圣布里亚主政下，其时的科尔多瓦最高学院开设高等学课，但该校仍无授位权。

• On 8 August 1621 Pope Gregory XV granted the degree-conferring authority by an official document that reached the city in April 1622, and with the approval of the Jesuit provincial head Pedro de Oñate the university began its official existence.1621 年 8 月 8 日，教宗格雷戈里十五世以官方文件授予学位授予权，该文件于 1622 年 4 月抵达科尔多瓦，在耶稣会会长佩德罗·德奥尼亚特批准下，大学自此正式存续。

• This founding marks the beginning of the history of higher education in Argentina, and the city of Córdoba earned from it the lasting nickname La Docta, roughly translated as The Wise.此次创校标志着阿根廷高等教育史的开端，科尔多瓦城也由此获得 La Docta 的雅号，大意为智慧之城。

• The Jesuits kept control of the university until 1767, when they were expelled by order of King Carlos III, and leadership then passed to the Franciscan order.耶稣会一直掌控该校，直到 1767 年奉国王卡洛斯三世之命被驱逐，领导权随后移交方济各会。

• For the first 150 years after its founding the university maintained an exclusive focus on philosophy and theology, and its law studies were added only at the end of the eighteenth century with the creation of the School of Law and Social Sciences.创校后的头 150 年，该校独重哲学与神学，直到十八世纪末随着法律与社会科学院的创设才加入法学教育。

• The first secondary school in Córdoba was Our Lady of Monserrat, founded by the Jesuit priest Ignacio Duarte y Quirós in 1687 and incorporated into the university's aegis in 1907.科尔多瓦第一所中学是蒙塞拉特圣母学校，由耶稣会士依纳爵·杜阿尔特·基罗斯于 1687 年创办，1907 年纳入该校管辖。

• The College of Monserrat, the original physical plant of the university and the Jesuit church together form the Jesuit Block, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000.科尔多瓦的蒙塞拉特学院、大学早期校园与耶稣会教堂共同组成耶稣会区，2000 年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。

• After a conflict between the Franciscans and the secular clergy over its direction, the house of study was renamed by royal decree to the Royal University of Saint Charles and Our Lady of Monserrat, acquiring the double title Royal and Pontifical.方济各会与世俗教士围绕校务发生冲突后，王室下诏将其更名为圣卡洛斯暨蒙塞拉特圣母皇家大学，获得皇家与教宗双重头衔。

• With that change Monsignor Gregorio Funes was appointed president, the Franciscans were replaced by the secular clergy as leaders, and Funes became the architect of profound reforms that introduced new subjects.随之，蒙席格雷戈里奥·富内斯被任命为校长，方济各会由世俗教士取代，富内斯成为引入新学科的深刻改革的设计者。

• Monsignor Funes reorganised studies around modern subjects rather than scholastic theology alone, a reorientation that prepared the later addition of law and the secular curriculum of the nineteenth century.蒙席富内斯将教学重心由经院神学转向近代学科，此番转向为日后的法学增设与十九世纪的世俗课程做了铺垫。

• On 25 May 1810 the May Revolution began and the new regime took control of the University of Córdoba, although Monsignor Funes remained in his post.1810 年 5 月 25 日五月革命爆发，新政权接管科尔多瓦大学，蒙席富内斯则留任原职。

• In 1820 the university was relocated elsewhere in the province of Córdoba amid a national situation of disorganisation and chaos.1820 年，全国陷入混乱与失序，大学被迫在科尔多瓦省内他处迁移办学。

• By the mid-nineteenth century there were two provincial universities in the country, one in Córdoba and one in Buenos Aires founded in 1821, the former nationalised in 1856 and the latter in 1881.至十九世纪中叶，全国有两所省立大学，一在科尔多瓦、一在 1821 年创设的布宜诺斯艾利斯，前者于 1856 年、后者于 1881 年收归国有。

• Between 1860 and 1880 many academic reforms were instituted, and in 1864 theological studies were finally eliminated from the curriculum.1860 至 1880 年间推行多项学术改革，1864 年课程中的神学教育被正式取消。

• During the presidency of Faustino Sarmiento the sciences gained momentum through foreign lecturers in mathematical and physical science, leading to the School of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences, the Academy of Exact Sciences and the Astronomical Observatory.在福斯蒂诺·萨米恩托总统任内，靠引进数理学科的外籍讲师推动理科发展，催生数理与自然科学学院、数理科学院与天文台。

• The School of Medicine was opened in 1877, adding clinical training to a curriculum long dominated by law, philosophy and theology.1877 年医学院成立，为长期以法学、哲学与神学为主的课程加入临床训练。

• In 1885 the Law of Avellaneda, the first national university law, set out how the bylaws and administrative framework of the national universities could be amended, and in 1886 the bylaws in Córdoba were revised to conform.1885 年《阿韦利亚内达法》作为首部全国性大学法，规定了国立大学章程与行政框架的修订方式，1886 年科尔多瓦的章程据此修改。

• In 1918 the university was the scene of the historic University Reform, when students inspired by autonomy, co-governance and the democratisation of education led a movement that spread throughout Latin America.1918 年，该校成为具有历史意义的大学改革现场，受自治、共同治理与教育民主化理念激励的学生发起运动，并波及整个拉丁美洲。

• That reform had a lasting impact on higher education and laid the groundwork for a more inclusive and participatory approach to university decision-making across the region.这场改革对高等教育影响深远，为全地区更包容、更参与式的大学决策奠定了基础。

Academics

• The academic body is organised into fifteen faculties and schools, the largest such range among Argentine universities after the University of Buenos Aires.其教学建制由 15 所学院与学系组成，是仅次于布宜诺斯艾利斯大学、阿根廷规模最广的学科布局。

• The Faculty of Law, established in 1791, was the first faculty of the National University of Córdoba and since then has been a central institution in the academic and political life of Argentina.法学院成立于 1791 年，是该校第一所学院，此后一直是阿根廷学术与政治生活的核心机构。

• Other faculties are Agriculture, Architecture Urbanism and Design, Arts, Chemical Sciences, Communication Sciences, Dentistry, Economics, Exact Physical and Natural Sciences, Mathematics Astronomy Physics and Computing, Medicine, Philosophy and Humanities, Psychology and Social Sciences.其余学院包括农学、建筑城市与设计、艺术、化学、传媒、口腔医学、经济学、数理与自然科学、数学天文物理与计算、医学、哲学与人文、心理学与社会科学。

• The Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities and the School of Languages together carry the humanistic branch of the university, distinct from its law, medicine and sciences faculties.艺术学院、哲学与人文学院与语言学院共同承载该校人文分支，与其法学、医学及理工科学院相区别。

• The faculties of Exact Physical and Natural Sciences and of Mathematics Astronomy Physics and Computing split scientific teaching, each tied to affiliated research bodies such as the Astronomical Observatory of Córdoba and the Academy of Sciences.数理与自然科学学院同数学天文物理与计算学院分担理工教学，各自依托科尔多瓦天文台与科学院等附属研究机构。

• The School of Languages traces its origin to 1920, when the Department of Languages was created under the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences with French, Italian and legal Latin as the first subjects.语言学院源于 1920 年在法律与社会科学院下设立的语文学系，最初教授法语、意大利语与法律拉丁文。

• In 1926 it became the Language Institute dependent on the Rector's Office, expanding its offer with professorships and translation programmes in German, French, English and Italian.1926 年它改隶校长办公室、成为语言研究所，增设德语、法语、英语与意大利语的师资与翻译项目。

• In 1943 it was renamed the School of Higher Education on Languages and then on Classic and Modern Languages, before plans formed in the early 1980s made it a faculty in 2000.1943 年它先后改名为语言高等教育学校与古典现代语言高等教育学校，1980 年代初筹建学院，终于在 2000 年正式成为学院。

• The School of Languages, whose current dean is Graciela Ferrero, grants undergraduate degrees in six languages, German, Spanish, French, English, Italian and Portuguese, together with master's and doctoral degrees.语言学院现任院长为格拉谢拉·费雷罗，授予德语、西班牙语、法语、英语、意大利语与葡萄牙语六种语言的学位，并设硕士与博士课程。

• Admission to undergraduate study is not selective, as at most Argentine public universities, the only requirement being that applicants pass a level-course test with a score above 4, equivalent to about 60 percent correct.与多数阿根廷公立大学一样，本科入学不作选拔，唯一要求是申请人在先修水平考试中取得 4 分以上，约合 60% 的正确率。

• Affiliated institutions of secondary education include the National College of Monserrat and the Manuel Belgrano School of Business, both carrying the university's teaching tradition to the pre-university level.附属中学包括蒙塞拉特国民学院与曼努埃尔·贝尔格拉诺商业学校，二者将该校教学传统延至大学以前阶段。

• Other affiliated institutions span research and health, including the Astronomical Observatory of Córdoba, the National Clinical Hospital, the National Maternity, a dental clinic and a blood laboratory.其他附属机构涵盖科研与医疗，包括科尔多瓦天文台、国家临床医院、国家妇产医院、牙科诊所与血液实验室。

• These also include the Museum of Paleontology and Anthropology, the Academy of Sciences, the Center for Advanced Studies, the Instituto de Astronomía Teórica y Experimental and the Botanical Museum of Córdoba.还包括古生物与人类学博物馆、科学院、高等研究中心、理论实验天文学研究所与科尔多瓦植物标本馆。

• Student services comprise Steps, a healthcare system for university students, an athletic department, career assistance, and grant programs funded by the national government and by student contributions.学生服务包括面向高校学生的医疗体系、体育部门、生涯辅导，以及由国家拨款与学生捐助共同资助的奖学金项目。

• University dining services operate throughout the academic year, offering meals from Monday to Friday with three daily menus overseen by a nutrition specialist.大学餐饮服务贯穿整个学年，自周一至周五供餐，每日三份菜单由营养师监督。

• The main library holds more than 150,000 volumes, manuscripts and periodicals, many dating from the nineteenth century, the largest documented scholarly resource at the university.主图书馆藏有 150,000 余册图书、手稿与期刊，多为十九世纪之物，是该校有记载的最大规模学术资源。

• Taken together, fifteen faculties, six taught languages and a library of over 150,000 items give the quantitative measure of academic breadth, since no OpenAlex work count is available for this entry.综合而言，15 所学院、六门授课语言与逾 150,000 册馆藏共同构成学术广度的量化标尺，因本条目无法取用 OpenAlex 作品计数。

Campus

• The main campus is located in the centre of the city of Córdoba and is made up of 23 buildings used for classes and cultural activities.主校区位于科尔多瓦市中心，由 23 栋用于教学与文化活动的建筑组成。

• In 1952 a more spacious campus called the Ciudad Universitaria, or University City, was established in the southern part of the city, where the School of Languages also sits.1952 年，规模更大的大学城在城南建成，语言学院亦设于此。

• The University City in southern Córdoba grew around the disciplines that needed land and instruments, notably the experimental agricultural station and the observatory, while law and humanities stayed in the historic centre.城南大学城围绕需要场地与仪器的学科成长，尤以实验农场与天文台为著，法学与人文则留在历史中心。

• The university additionally owns other campuses, notably an experimental agricultural station located 20 kilometres southeast of the city and an astronomical observatory.学校另拥有多处校区，尤以城南约 20 公里外的实验农场与一座天文台为著。

• In coordinates the university centre lies near latitude 31.40648 south and longitude 64.18853 west, in the provincial capital that Argentines call La Docta.就坐标而言，校部约在南纬 31.40648、西经 64.18853，坐落在这座被阿根廷人称为智慧之城的省会。

• Beyond the modern University City, the historic core, the Jesuit Block with the College of Monserrat, the original physical plant and the Jesuit church, was inscribed by UNESCO in 2000.在现代大学城之外，以蒙塞拉特学院、早期校园与耶稣会教堂为核心的耶稣会区历史地段，2000 年由联合国教科文组织登录。

• The athletic department gives students the opportunity to take part in sports and physical activity primarily on campus, and the dining services keep the University City fed during term.体育部门让学生主要在校内参与体育与锻炼，餐饮服务则在学期内为大学城提供膳食。

• Campus size and the dispersal between a central core and a southern University City reflect the two centuries of growth that followed the 1613 Jesuit foundation.在中心老校址与城南大学城之间分散的校园规模，正是 1613 年耶稣会创校之后数百年扩张的写照。

Reputation

• This entry is written because the QS World University Rankings 2027 place the National University of Córdoba in the 801-850 band, the ranking position on which its inclusion in this batch rests.本条目据 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名收录该校，该榜将科尔多瓦国立大学列入第 801-850 位。

• In the 2027 Times Higher Education World University Rankings the university is recorded beyond the first two thousand places, so its THE position is given as 2001 and above.在 2027 年泰晤士高等教育世界大学排名中，该校列于 2000 名之后，故其泰晤士名次记为 2001 位及以后。

• The 2026-2027 US News Best Global Universities ranking places the university at 1033, a specific numeric position rather than a band.2026-2027 年度 US News 全球最佳大学排名将该校列在第 1033 位，是一个具体数值而非区间。

• No 2026 Shanghai Ranking, the ARWU, position is recorded for the institution, so it is treated here as not entering the 2026 main list.2026 年软科世界大学学术排名未收录该校名次，故此处按未进入该榜处理。

• An earlier subject-level signal came in 2017, when Times Higher Education ranked the university within the 801-1000 band globally, a higher position than its 2027 standing.更早期的学科信号见于 2017 年，泰晤士高等教育将该校列在全球第 801-1000 位，高于其 2027 年的位置。

• Subject-level standings are not separately listed for the university in the current QS or Times Higher Education tables, so its 2027 position is recorded only at the institutional band level.现行 QS 与泰晤士榜单未另列该校学科名次，故其 2027 位置仅在机构档位层面记录。

• Because OpenAlex attributes no work or citation count to the institution in this edition, its measurable standing rests on verifiable scale such as fifteen faculties, a 150,000-volume library and a 23-building central campus rather than a paper total.因本届 OpenAlex 未向该校赋予作品或被引计数，其可量化地位以 15 所学院、150,000 册图书馆与 23 栋楼的中心校园等可核验规模为准，而非论文总数。

• Its historic reputation rests on primacy and ideas, being the oldest university in Argentina, founded in 1613, and the birthplace of the 1918 University Reform that reshaped Latin American higher education.其历史声望奠基于首位性与思想，它是阿根廷最古老的大学、1613 年创校，又是重塑拉美高等教育的 1918 年大学改革的发源地。

• The source material records no Nobel, Turing or Fields-level affiliation for the university, so no such laureate count can be stated and its honours are institutional, resting on the UNESCO Jesuit Block of 2000 and the legacy of the reform.资料未记载该校有诺贝尔奖、图灵奖或菲尔兹奖级别的人物关联，故不能给出此类得奖人数，其荣誉属机构层面，依托 2000 年的耶稣会区世界遗产与改革遗产。

• Regionally it ranks among the leading Argentine public universities after the University of Buenos Aires, and its Faculty of Law, founded in 1791, remains a benchmark institution for Argentine jurisprudence.在区域层面，它是仅次于布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的阿根廷公立强校之一，其创建于 1791 年的法学院至今仍是阿根廷法学教育的标杆机构。

Student life

• The 1918 University Reform established the enduring principles of autonomy, co-governance and the democratisation of education, values that still organise campus decision-making.1918 年大学改革确立了自治、共同治理与教育民主化的持久原则，这些理念至今仍组织着校园决策。

• Co-governance gives students a formal voice in university government, and as an autonomous national university the institution elects its own administration and dictates its own regulations.共同治理赋予学生在大学治理中的正式发言权，作为自治的国立大学，学校自选行政班子、自订规章。

• Because admission is open and the intake is broad, campus life is organised around large faculties and the affiliated colleges rather than around a selective small-cohort model.因入学开放、生源广泛，校园生活围绕规模较大的学院与附属学校组织，而非选拔性的小班模式。

• Its governance rests with a rectorate, the Rector's Office having directly overseen bodies such as the Language Institute from 1926 onward.其治理以校长为核心，校长办公室自 1926 年起便直接管辖语言研究所等机构。

• Financially the university is supported by Argentine taxpayers while retaining autonomy over budgets, elections and regulations, a status shared by all Argentine national universities.在经费上，该校由阿根廷纳税人支持，却对预算、选举与规章保有自治权，这是所有阿根廷国立大学的共同地位。

• Student life on the central campus and the southern University City is supported by the Steps healthcare system, the athletic department and the university dining services that run Monday to Friday.中心校区与城南大学城的学生生活由医疗体系、体育部门与周一至周五运行的大学餐饮共同支撑。

• Grant programs funded by the national government and by contributions from students broaden access for those who would otherwise be unable to study.由国家拨款与学生捐助共同资助的奖学金项目，拓宽了原本无力就学者的机会。

• As a non-selective public university it draws a broad intake, requiring only that applicants pass the level-course test with a score above 4, roughly 60 percent correct, before beginning study.作为不设选拔的公立大学，其生源广泛，只要求申请人在入学前通过先修水平考试、取得约合 60% 正确率的 4 分以上成绩。
