About us

We are a University

As a university institution, we propose to serve society through the search for truth in all its dimensions, through the development and transmission of knowledge with a universal vision.

This broad perspective of reality moves us to open ourselves to others and to foster the interdisciplinary spirit, characteristic of university work, and a work environment that favors the interrelation of people.

Day by day we build a community made up of academics, professionals, students and graduates in a framework of intellectual freedom, responsibility, cultural diversity and respect for the other; where many people who think differently put their knowledge to the test to generate ideas, which have the potential to quickly reach society.

At the center of our university mission is the person as the end of all our teaching, research, transfer, medical assistance and university extension activities.

Our humanistic vision leads us to focus on training in virtues with a professional and social sense; virtues such as honesty, friendship, industry, effort and the permanent desire to learn.

In this way, we aspire for the personal talent of the members of our community to be accompanied by intellectual, social and public leadership to propose a more human contribution that transforms society. We promote joint work between the university and the different actors of society at the local and international level, generating an environment that is constantly learning and contributing.

With Christian identity

Our Christian identity invites us to identify ourselves with the love that Jesus teaches us in the Gospel, and with the freedom that he himself has given us. From that perspective we seek harmony between faith and reason, responding to the concrete problems of the world today.

We understand the dignity of each person according to their transcendent destiny in life. For this reason, we offer Christian formation activities that nurture the spiritual dimension of people, in a climate of personal freedom and respect for people of different faiths. We encourage the ability to ask for forgiveness when we make mistakes and to forgive others, knowing how to understand and put ourselves in the place of the other. We seek to generate a culture of encounter by opening ourselves to the problems and desires of others. We reason together with those who think differently to establish a fruitful dialogue between all of us.

We promote solidarity through volunteering among the people of our university community, to help in a special way those who are in vulnerable situations.

We promote human rights such as life, health, education, family, social justice, care of the environment and the search for the common good, among others; always in an inclusive environment where people's ideals are respected.

Inspired by Saint Josemaría

Saint Josemaría inspired the creation of the Universidad Austral . He encouraged us for universities to live in the face of the needs of all people and to be an area of exchange and understanding, which forms citizens willing to build a more just society.

With the same initial impulse, today Opus Dei assists the University in incorporating Christian principles in teaching, in its contents and even in the way of managing the University.

One of the main messages that Opus Dei promotes is to enrich the meaning of life by finding God in daily work and putting him at the service of others.
