PhD Programs in Uruguay 2023

A number of prominent universities can be found in Uruguay. The University of the Republic is the largest and most prestigious institute of higher education located in the country, which attracts students from all over South America and throughout the world.

The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
