Study in Chile

Exploring a country of diverse landscapes and cultures

If you look at a map, the shape of one country in particular catches your eye: Chile. With a length of 4300 kilometers and an average width of just 180 kilometers along the Pacific Ocean, Chile is unique. Due to its elongated shape, the country on the west coast of South America is characterized by an incredible variety of landscapes. While the Atacama Desert, the driest region on earth, can be found in the north, the endless expanses of Patagonia stretch out in the south, from ice landscapes to fjords and dense primeval forests. In the east, you can admire the Andes, including glaciers and volcanoes. Chile's diversity is also reflected in its culture. While the large cities have an almost European feel, there are numerous indigenous population groups, particularly in the far north, the Andes, and the south, which shape the Chilean identity. If you enroll at one of the numerous universities in the capital, Santiago de Chile, the economic and cultural center of the country, you have the perfect geographical starting point for numerous unforgettable adventures!

A semester abroad in Chile not only offers the opportunity to get to know the Spanish language and Chilean culture in depth, but also the chance to discover the country's rich culinary heritage. From traditional dishes such as empanadas and asado to seafood from the waters of the Pacific, Chilean cuisine offers a wide range of flavors to explore.

Chile is also an excellent starting point for exploring other countries in South America. Thanks to its well-developed transportation system, you can travel relatively easily to destinations such as Argentina, Peru or Bolivia and discover other fascinating cultures and landscapes there. A semester abroad in Chile not only allows you to experience the country itself, but also to explore and understand the entire region of South America.
