Universidad de los Andes (CL)

What Universidad de los Andes (CL) does

Universidad de los Andes (CL) is a private, non-profit Catholic research university founded in 1989 and headquartered in Las Condes, Santiago, Chile. It operates across 10 active faculties and an additional administrative school covering disciplines such as Engineering, Economics and Business, Law, Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Communication, Social Sciences, Philosophy and Humanities; its portfolio spans undergraduate programs, master's degrees (magísteres), doctorates, diplomas, postítulos, specializations, and executive education delivered through ESE Business School, which markets itself as Chile's first exclusive postgraduate business school with over 20 years of operation and more than 140 annual programs.

Beyond academics, the institution runs an affiliated healthcare system anchored by Clínica Universidad de los Andes and the Centro de Salud Uandes in San Bernardo (operating since 1999), supplemented by teaching-assistance centers including Centro Asistencial Docente Terapia Ocupacional (CADTO) and Centro Asistencial Docente Kinesiología. Its research footprint spans centers such as CIIB (Biomedical Innovation), IMPACT (Precision Medicine and Cell Therapy), Centro Signos (Social Studies), CIIL (Reading Research), Centro de Bioética y Humanidades Médicas, and Centro de Estudios Territoriales (CET). Cultural extension assets include Museo de Artes UANDES, Camerata UANDES, and a continuing-education and outreach program (Extensión Cultural).

The university's revenue model is built on tuition and academic fees across undergraduate, graduate, and executive-education pipelines, with ancillary recurring revenue from affiliated healthcare services at the Clínica and the Centro de Salud Uandes. Distribution is principally direct-to-consumer via the official admissions portal (admision.uandes.cl), supplemented by on-campus outreach, educational fairs, and international student recruitment. The technology stack centers on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure following a 2026 migration of 108 IT workloads executed with Kyndryl in four months, alongside Canvas LMS for learning management, Banner for enterprise systems, AppUandes as a mobile platform, and Google Workspace for institutional email. Quality is anchored in a 6-year CNA institutional accreditation across all areas, third-place ranking in Chile's national university selection exam, and advancing position in the THE Latin America Rankings 2026.
