UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS
Chemistry
The Chemist of our Faculty is a professional dedicated to the study of theories, models and chemical phenomena as well as those disciplines that are related to it. He has a solid theoretical and experimental training in chemical sciences complemented with mathematical and physical knowledge that enables him to perform efficiently in his discipline under ethical parameters and quality standards.
The training provided allows you to develop fully in basic and applied research, in production processes, in management and quality, creating knowledge and solving problems in complex and changing scenarios within the logical framework of the scientific method. In addition, our graduate is prepared to incorporate and apply new knowledge, technologies and developments in the area.
He is capable of making contributions, implementing innovative solutions, both in his individual performance and in interdisciplinary work teams in the public and private spheres, implementing innovative solutions protecting the quality of life of the community and the preservation of the environment.
The chemist of our Faculty, also has a training that allows them to perform professionally with a leadership, critical and deliberative attitude linked to society through the development of a permanent social commitment, a characteristic that distinguishes the professionals graduated from the University of Chile.

Intermediate Certification
Our University, framed in the Institutional Development Project (PDI), and specifically in its line of “Undergraduate Modernization”, incorporated the “Intermediate Certification”, which aims, among other aspects, to “Install the systematic evaluation of student achievement in the intermediate cycles, taking into account the competencies defined for the level as well as the impact of these achievements on subsequent levels”.
This is how our Faculty defined a basic cycle in Chemistry that involves 144 credits and that recognizes certain competencies in our students, among which are:
- Ability to apply knowledge and understanding in chemistry to the solution of qualitative and quantitative problems.
- Understand fundamental concepts, principles and theories in the area of Chemistry.
- Interpret and evaluate data derived from observations and measurements relating them to theory.
- Ability to develop, use and apply analytical techniques.
- Command of chemical terminology, nomenclature, conventions and units, to name a few.
Duration (theoretical)
12 semesters.
Accreditation
In process of reaccreditation.
