In addition to foreign exchange stays, the School of Engineering offers students the possibility of obtaining Dual Professional Certification or a Dual Degree from an international institution, thanks to established agreements worldwide.
The School of Engineering is actively establishing agreements with world-class institutions, thereby allowing our students to gain educational and research experiences in foreign countries.
The Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile offers students the chance to complete one or two semesters abroad. The University has exchange agreements with more than 350 international universities of academic excellence.
For more information about current agreements, benefits, scholarships, the application process, and requirements for engineering students, please visit the UC Office of International Relations.
The Dual Professional Certification program allows students to gain Certification as an Engineer from the UC School of Engineering and a foreign university.
The objective is to provide students with international perspectives on the diverse areas within engineering, widening student viewpoints with specific, current knowledge through the realities of other countries.
The UC School of Engineering has signed Dual Professional Certification agreements with seven European universities in France and Italy. This program allows students to complete their undergraduate studies in Chile and France/Italy, ultimately obtaining Professional Certification from the UC School of Engineering and the selected foreign institution.
