Duoc UC is one of the leading educational institutions in Chile. In 2010, we received a 7 out of 7 institutional accreditation from the Accreditation National Commission (Comisión Nacional de Acreditación), which certifies the quality of our project and its relevance among the higher education institutions in our country. Only three higher education institutions in Chile have this distinction. Duoc UC is the only Professional institute, alongside the most important two Universities in the country.

Our future students are able to pick one from our 82 technical and professional degree programs through 9 schools over 16 campuses in Santiago, Concepción (south of Chile), Viña del Mar and Valparaíso (The Historic Quarter of the Seaport City of Valparaíso is a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Our infrastructure includes over 130 laboratories and workshops. Other available equipment is available over an area equivalent to 712,385 ft².

Duoc UC offers “industry-focused” educational programs, through its 2-year “technical” and 4 year-long “professional” degrees. It provides a stimulating learning environment and state-of-the-art facilities to pave the way for academic success.

First, check that your home university or polytechnic institute has an ongoing exchange agreement with Duoc UC.

Thoroughly research your prospective courses. Most of our programs are in Spanish; therefore make sure you have sufficient proficiency in this language for your classes. We do offer a free 44 hour Spanish course for all non-native Spanish speakers, but in order to successfully complete your courses we advise at least an intermediate Spanish level.

For non-Spanish speakers, Duoc UC also offers the Tourism and Hospitality Program, fully taught in English.
