Student Reviews

A place for integral growth
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars

An institution that provides us with the best professionals in the area, professors with tremendous amounts of knowledge and expertise, where values like pluralism and social conscience are crucial. A community full of diversity.

Challenge
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

It was challenging, but I'd like to be challenged even more and to continue learning

The world is much bigger than the Chilean territory, I want to see and learn a lot about the world.
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

My experience as an undergraduate and graduate student has been very good, I have learned a lot but I feel that I need to complement my studies with learning abroad, seeing other perspectives and ideas. The bad thing about my studies has been that I have not had a European or international vision of my different academic interests.
