The sticker arancel, kept whole rather than discounted. UdeC applies an automatic Beca Interna of $1.792.446 at enrolment to every student, new or continuing, who does not have Gratuidad — which is the position an international student is in — bringing the payable figure to $5.629.947. That award is recorded separately under scholarships rather than folded into this number, per the project rule that a conditional discount must not be presented as the price. A separate matrícula of $52.795 applies. Note also UdeC's own SIES data on the same page: the real duration of this degree is 14 semesters against a nominal 10, with 88.4% employment within a year of graduating.

  • Beca Interna UdeC

    $1.792.446 off the annual arancel, reducing it from $7.422.393 to $5.629.947

    Eligibility: Any student, new or continuing, who does not hold Gratuidad — granted automatically at enrolment with no separate application

    Gratuidad is Chile's state free-tuition scheme and is tied to Chilean state funding, so an international student would normally fall into the group this beca covers. UdeC states no grade bar, no quota and no renewal condition on this page.

The sticker arancel, kept whole rather than discounted. Chile publishes one annual arancel per degree and charges it to everyone; Gratuidad and the state fee caps that reduce it for Chilean students in the lower income deciles run on Chilean state funding, so an international student should expect the full figure. UdeC applies an automatic Beca Interna of $223.267 at enrolment to every student, new or continuing, who does not have Gratuidad -- which is the position an international student is in -- bringing the payable figure to $6.727.632. That conditional discount is deliberately not folded into the price, per the project rule that a discount must not be presented as the fee. The page's own arithmetic (6.950.899 minus 223.267 equals 6.727.632) confirms the 6.950.899 belongs to this degree and not to a neighbouring block on the page.

How UdeC compares

Against the other universities in Chile on StudyPath, using each one's verified international fees and its own published housing prices. Universities are only compared with others charging in the same currency (and, for housing, for the same period), so no figure here has been converted. A ~ marks a year worked out from a per-term or whole-course fee.

UdeC's lowest undergraduate fee for international students is CLP 6,435,599 a year, for Geología. Of the 16 other universities in Chile we list with undergraduate fees in CLP, 1 charges more at their lowest, 15 charge less. Their lowest undergraduate fees run from CLP 3,680,000 (UBB) to CLP 6,775,000 (PUCV).

Student housing. UdeC's own lowest published rate is CLP 55,620 per month. Of the 4 other universities in Chile we list that publish housing per month in CLP, 4 charge more. Their lowest published rates run from CLP 70,000 (UACh) to CLP 400,000 (UCN).

Accommodation

CLP 55,620per month

Hogares Universitarios — a need-based residence-loan benefit for students from outside Concepción Province who demonstrate financial need and good academic standing, not open-market housing. Structured as a long-term, interest-free credit (plus annual CPI adjustment) rather than a flat rent.

Despite being a need-based benefit, residents do pay this amount monthly. The service includes shared rooms plus kitchen/laundry access and a breakfast subsidy. Places are limited to students meeting income-quintile and academic requirements, from outside Concepción Province.

Published by the university itself, not a live listings price. Actual cost depends on room type, availability and when you apply.

What Chile's own immigration authority currently publishes. Not a ranking, not a guarantee, and not the same as what any agent or forum will tell you. Whether someone actually obtains residence depends on occupation, points, funds and policy that can change between application and graduation.

Route to citizenship

Chile's Servicio Nacional de Migraciones (SERMIG, under the Ministry of the Interior and Public Security) states that a Letter of Naturalisation (Carta de Nacionalización) — a means of acquiring Chilean nationality under Article 10 No. 3 of the Constitution, formalised through a decree signed by the Minister of the Interior on the President's order — may be granted under three routes. The ordinary route (Article 2 of Decree Law No. 5.142) requires the applicant to be 18 or older, hold a currently valid Permanent Residence (Residencia Definitiva), and have 5 or more years of residence in Chile, counted from when they first obtained the Temporary Residence stamp that led to the Permanent Residence they now hold. A parallel route exists for a foreigner's child aged 14+ who holds Permanent Residence and the same 5-year residence history, with notarised parental authorisation. A faster 'qualified naturalisation' route (Article 85 of Law No. 21.325, the Migration and Foreign Nationals Law) requires only 2 years of continuous residence for a Permanent Resident who has one of several specific ties to Chile: being the spouse of a Chilean national for at least 2 years with the marriage registered in Chile and a shared household maintained throughout; being a blood relative of a Chilean up to the second degree, or someone adopted by a Chilean; or being the child of a parent who was Chilean but lost that nationality before the child's birth. StudyPath found no SERMIG statement addressing dual nationality or a requirement to renounce the applicant's original nationality, so no claim is made on that point.

“1. A quienes hayan cumplidos 18 años de edad, sean titulares de Residencia Definitiva vigente, y tengan cinco años o más de residencia en Chile (a contar desde que obtuvieron el estampado de la Residencia Temporal que dio origen a la Residencia Definitiva que mantiene vigente). Art.2 DL 5.142.”

New entry added 19 August 2026. One Chilean government domain accepted as a government source here: extranjeria.gob.cl (covering its tramites.extranjeria.gob.cl subdomain — Chile's Servicio Nacional de Migraciones digital-procedures portal, the actual reachable source used here). On the source: the main www.extranjeria.gob.cl domain (and specific pages like /visas/visa-de-estudiante/) returned a browser error page and a curl SSL principal-name mismatch on every attempt, while the tramites.extranjeria.gob.cl subdomain worked reliably — a future collector chasing SERMIG content should go straight to the tramites subdomain. Chile's Migration and Foreign Nationals Law (Ley N° 21.325) full text was located on leychile.cl (Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional) and its 'imprimir' (print) view did render real static text via the browser, but the full norm is very long (183,616 characters) and this project's page-text extraction truncates at 50,000 characters with no built-in pagination could use to reach the Article 85 qualified-naturalisation text or any student-specific work-rights articles within the time available — the 5-year/2-year naturalisation criteria actually used above were instead found pre-summarised, with their own correct statutory cross-references (DL 5.142 and Ley 21.325 Art. 85), on SERMIG's own procedures portal. registrocivil.cl (Servicio de Registro Civil e Identificación, which also plays a role in Chilean nationality documentation) was checked but sits behind a CAPTCHA challenge this project cannot solve. workDuringStudy, postStudyWork and residencyRoute are all left null: StudyPath confirmed that 'Propósito de Estudios' (Study Purpose) is one of the named Temporary Residence subcategories under Ley 21.325 (via SERMIG's own residence-permit overview, ver_ficha/245) but did not reach substantive text on work rights during study, a post-study bridge status, or the specific residence-length route from Temporary to Permanent Residence within the time available — recorded as an absence of found information, not a confirmed 'no'; a future collector should pursue Ley 21.325's Título on Temporary Residence subcategories and its implementing Decreto 296 of 2021 directly, ideally via a tool that can paginate past leychile.cl's 50,000-character extraction limit. inDemandOccupations is left null for the same reason. naturalisationStatus set to 'published-route': SERMIG publishes real, numbered residence-length and status criteria for both the ordinary and qualified naturalisation routes — per the doc comment on ResidencyPathway.naturalisationStatus this field records only whether criteria are published, not how demanding Chile's underlying Permanent Residence prerequisite is to reach. citizenshipTerms records the ordinary Carta de Nacionalización route: 5 years of residence, counted from the Temporary Residence stamp that led to the Permanent Residence the applicant currently holds, and requiring valid Permanent Residence at the time of application. The qualified-naturalisation route under Article 85 of Law 21.325 requires only 2 years but is limited to applicants with a specific Chilean family tie. dualCitizenshipAllowed is null: SERMIG’s page does not address renunciation.
