What can you tell us about the details of applying to study at the UVM? What is involved in being admitted as an international student? If I plan to go to Chile in March or in August, when do I need to apply?
The International Office (OIIE) of UVM asks international students about the subjects they would like to study.
The International Office (OIIE) receives this information from the student; then, the Director of the OIIE looks for the careers that have courses / classes related to these areas and designs a Study Program Proposal for the student. We usually ask the students to choose 8 to 10 courses, due to the fact that most of the subjects belong to different careers that might have schedule conflicts, 2 or 3 courses are given at the same time. (This is done once the student is here because he/she can explore all of the courses that he/she has listed and choose the ones he/she prefers.
The student sends us a list of the courses they would like to explore and we send him/her the corresponding syllabi plus related information available.
Once the student accepts the proposal, we send him/her an Application Form.
Having the Application Form with us, we send them a Letter of Acceptance so that they can present it to the Chilean Consulate in their own country. (The Chilean Consulate will issue a student visa -students need to present their passport to do this.
If the students are planning to apply for our Spring Semester (end of July and middle of December) they can start applying in mid April in order to give us 2 ½ months to help the students with all the procedures.
If the students are planning to apply for our Fall Semester (end of February and middle of July) they can start applying in mid October in order to give us some months to help the students with all the procedures. January & February are our Summer Vacation Season.
Once the International Students are in Chile, there is a 30-days term to register the student visa at the international police office. We specially recommend students to get a student visa. Deadline for a foreign person to stay in Chile with a tourist visa lasts 90 days. In some cases, depending on the country of origin of the student, it is possible the student will be asked to certify he/she can afford a stay in Chile. The student might also need a letter from his/her University confirming he/she is a regular student and plans to study at the UVM.
