Where You'll Study

Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez (UAI) was the first university in Chile to obtain the prestigious triple accreditation of AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS. While their business school is still thriving, UAI now also offers courses in many other disciplines, including Engineering, Humanities, Journalism, Law and Psychology. Housed up in the hills with a superb view of the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful garden city of Viña, the campus has modern installations all within walking distance: classrooms and group study rooms with the latest technology, libraries, cafeterias and gym facilities.
