The University of Viña del Mar welcomes students from across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, many of whom are drawn to the school’s renowned Spanish Center.  Since 2008 the UVM has been certified to provide the Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language (DELE) which is organized by the Cervantes Institute of Spain together with the Universidad de Salamanca. Take integrated courses with local and other international students, taught in your choice of English and Spanish, on the university’s two centrally located campuses.  

When in Viña del Mar, live as the locals do! Choose CEA housing or arrange your own independent housing. CEA Housing assignments are based on availability and confirmation date; we make every effort to match your housing requests, but we can’t guarantee housing preferences.

Program Structure

Enroll in a Spanish language class appropriate to your level and choose 2-3 elective courses, taught in English. Language courses meet for 120-124 contact hours/8 credits. Elective courses meet for 56-64 hours/4 credits. You may choose to enroll in an optional Service Learning workshop and earn 1 additional credit.

You may earn a total of 16-21 credits (up to 336 contact hours) per semester.

Classes meet Monday-Friday. Active learning components required by your courses may be scheduled on Fridays.

You'll take a language placement test and register for courses after you arrive in Viña del Mar. You will be enrolled into courses based on their availability. It is in your best interest to have multiple alternative courses approved by your home university prior to your departure due to course availabilities. To ensure that you receive credit for the language level you place into, have your home school pre-approve courses at several levels before you leave for Chile. Please consult with your academic advisor at your home university on credit pre-approval guidelines.
