Facultad de Derecho Universidad Alberto Hurtado

What Facultad de Derecho Universidad Alberto Hurtado does

Facultad de Derecho Universidad Alberto Hurtado is the law faculty of Universidad Alberto Hurtado, a private Jesuit university in Santiago, Chile, founded in 1997. The Faculty operates as a non-profit academic institution ("sin fines de lucro") offering comprehensive legal education rooted in the Jesuit tradition of social justice and human rights. It serves undergraduate law students, graduate students in multiple specializations, doctoral candidates, and broader Chilean society through legal clinics and community programs.

The Faculty's core offerings include the five-year undergraduate law degree (Carrera de Derecho), at least three active master's programs (Criminal Law, Public Law, and Procedural Law and Litigation), a research doctorate in law, and a set of applied research programs covering constitutional law, international criminal law, evidence law, gender and social justice, mediation, due process reform, and law and care-giving. It operates the Clínica Jurídica UAH legal aid clinic, the Escuela Sindical Clotario Blest labor education school, and the student-run Lex Olympia law review. Technology infrastructure includes a virtual classroom environment for synchronous and asynchronous graduate programs, COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) methodology linking students across Latin America, and a digital Constitutional Dictionary with embedded legal chatbot. The Faculty's research team is also developing the NuestramemorIA project, which applies AI to human rights memory archives.

The Faculty generates revenue through tuition and academic fees across its undergraduate and graduate programs, with no public fee disclosure and pricing managed by the central university admissions office. The go-to-market approach is community-led, leveraging the UAH Jesuit brand, regional academic networks (notably AUSJAL's "Nuevo Mundo Derecho" exchange program), faculty thought leadership in Chilean media outlets, and an active Alumni UAH network. Customer segments are horizontally segmented by academic level (undergraduate, graduate, doctoral) and by mission (community legal services through Clínica Jurídica), with international graduate students representing a growing cohort sourced from across Latin America.
