Principal building

The School develops activities in the areas of teaching, research, extension and outreach. We have five research centers (Center for Environmental Law; Center for Human Rights; Center for Justice Studies; Centre for Information Technology Law Studies; and, Center for Regulation and Competition); an Institute of Argumentation; research internships, paid and ad honorem internships, more than 65 bilateral international agreements; links with various job opportunities in the public and private world; student congresses; participation in international and national competitions; among other initiatives.

From an academic perspective, the Faculty has more than 300 academics, who contribute to the academic programming of each semester in undergraduate and postgraduate, reaching more than 400 courses in each academic period. The student community is composed of approximately 2500 undergraduate students and 372 postgraduate students, with a composition of undergraduate enrollment that represents all the realities of origin in the country. Thus, the 2022 cohort, is composed of a proportion of 52.6% women and 47.1% men (a trend that has been maintained in favor of women in the last three periods); 65.2% of students from the Metropolitan Region and 34. 8% of students from other regions, with at least one student from each region of the country; and, finally, an equal proportion of 29.4% of students from Public Education; 31.6% from Private Subsidized Education, and 36.7% from Private Paid Education, according to data from the Single Admission Survey 2022. This distribution is achieved by virtue of more than 100 special admission vacancies, whose function is to strengthen inclusion and equity in access to higher education. It should be noted that this statistical data is unique at the national level, despite the high cut-off score of the law degree and the known degree of segmentation of school and university education in Chile.

Therefore, the community of the School of Law is characterized by diversity and pluralism, which are values inherent to the University of Chile, together with the development of academic freedom, critical thinking, tolerance and respect for others, in an intellectually stimulating environment open to dissent.
