UDP Internacional

Tuesday May 26th, 2026

For more than 20 years, UDP and the University of Rosario, Colombia, have maintained a broad exchange agreement for professors and students. Consolidating this association, an additional agreement has just been signed, aimed at the academic community of their respective faculties of Social Sciences.

The recent agreement sets out guidelines for course validation and integrated student admission between the Master’s Programme in Political and International Studies at University of Rosario and the Master’s Programme in Social Research Methods at UDP. It also applies to undergraduate programmes in the faculties of Social Sciences.

Consequently, students who access the benefits of this agreement will be eligible for a master’s degree at the host university.

In turn, it is projected that students from the University of Rosario’s undergraduate programmes in Political Science and Government, International Relations, and/or Urban Management and Development can access UDP’s Master’s in Social Research Methods through a special pathway. At the same time, it establishes that students of Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, and History from the UDP Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities can enter the Master’s in Political and International Studies at the University of Rosario through this so-called special pathway.

Although the annual quota specified for entering these programmes is two students in both cases, the text also notes an interest in expanding the available vacancies.

Along with academic exchange, the agreement commits the parties to jointly promote internationalisation activities in the areas of faculty mobility; student mobility for taking courses or completing internships; course delivery; the design of pedagogical materials; the formation of evaluation committees for graduate capstones and postgraduate theses; and joint research.

This agreement is part of the development of UDP’s internationalisation policy—a transversal axis of its global education—as an enriching element for understanding and solving the main challenges of Chile and the world, adding to the more than 270 agreements that the University currently maintains with 29 countries.
