Escuela de Psicología UAI

What Escuela de Psicología UAI does

Escuela de Psicología Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez is an academic school within Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, a private Chilean university. It delivers psychology education across the full degree ladder — undergraduate careers, master's programs, continuing education courses, and a doctorate in Social Neuroscience and Cognition — with specialization areas in Clinical Psychology, Organizational Psychology, Neuroscience, and Wellbeing. Programs are taught in person across four UAI campuses in Chile: Peñalolén, Viña del Mar, Las Condes, and Vitacura.

The school operates five dedicated research and clinical centers: ANIDA (parenting, care, and childhood), BRAINLAT (Latin American Brain Health Institute), CEAP (community psychological care), CECA (eating behavior studies), and CSCN (cognitive and social neuroscience, clinical neuropsychology, cognitive development, and neuroscience of education). These centers generate research output, support doctoral training, and provide clinical services. The school also runs a corporate programs channel (Programas para Empresas y Organizaciones) targeting organizations seeking professional development in psychology-related areas.

The business model is tuition-driven and embedded in a non-commercial university structure: revenue is generated from individual student tuition across undergraduate, master's, doctoral, and continuing education tracks, supplemented by corporate program fees and CEAP clinical service fees. There are no external investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity; the school operates under the institutional ownership and governance of Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez. Marketing and student recruitment are conducted through the UAI website, opinion columns in media, campus events, and news publications. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.
