Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile Admission 2027

Admission at a glance

Applicants who completed at least the last two years of secondary school abroad, and have not studied at university, can apply to UC's undergraduate programmes through the special admission route for secondary education abroad instead of Chile's national entrance test. For entry in the first semester of 2027 there are two application periods: 24 August to 24 September 2026, until 13:00, with an application fee of CLP 107,230 for external applicants, and 28 September to 28 October 2026 with a fee of CLP 161,150. Both periods share the same assessments, held from 16 November to 4 December 2026, and results are published on 28 December 2026. The application fee is not refunded if the candidate is rejected. Some programmes set minimum grades on the Chilean scale, such as 5.0 for Architecture and 5.5 for Medicine, Dentistry, Physiotherapy, Nutrition and Psychology. Teaching is in Spanish, and UC recommends a B2 level, shown for example by DELE or SIELE. Master's admission is run by each programme, which sets its own application fee and dates; 2027 master's deadlines have not been published.
