Education Argentina

Hi, I'm starting my degree in Argentina at the University Of Buenos Aires. I'm currently enrolled in an Applied Math degree and would like to know how it compares to a Computer Science degree. I would like to work as a quant trader someday. Here in Argentina we have no minors, or majors. Our degrees are six year long and can compare to a masters degree in the US. I spoke to a couple of students here who did a PhD in Math at MIT and Harvard. Is that the only way I have to get to a US or European quant fund? Thanks.
