- Santiago, Chile
Santiago is the capital of Chile, with over 8 million residents. A
lively city surrounded by the Andres mountains and the nearby Pacific
ocean, there's always so much to explore. The university has
impressive faculty, administration and resources with a strong
commitment to excellence. Founded in 1888, PUC consistently ranks
among the top 2 universities in Latin America. It serves 20,000
undergraduates as well as 3,500 graduate students.
PUC offers a wide variety of subjects, taught in Spanish alongside
Chilean students. It also offers a limited number of courses in
