  • In order to participate in an exchange program at the Universidad Alberto Hurtado, it is necessary that the student’s home university has an exchange agreement signed with the UAH. This agreement allows the student to maintain his/her status as a regular student at his/her home university while taking courses abroad, which will then be validated.
  • Since international students will take regular courses at Universidad Alberto Hurtado, it is important that they have a good command of Spanish.
  • Once the student’s home institution has sent their application, UAH will send a letter of acceptance to the student, which will allow them to process their student visa. This document is necessary to ensure their legal status while studying at UAH.
