About the Program
Viña is a coastal town nestled perfectly between the hills of Valparaiso, a World Heritage City, and the sand dunes of Concon, the gastronomical capital of Chile. Viña del Mar is also located only one and a half hours from Chile’s capital, Santiago. The Universidad Viña del Mar is an accredited, private university with over 30 years of experience providing quality education to its Chilean and international students alike. UVM strives to give international students the necessary skills to become integrated into UVM’s academic community, and Chilean culture through experiential learning.
