International students are granted the opportunity of studying a one-semester term or one whole academic year at Universidad del Desarrollo, taking courses on subjects related to the study programs they are following at their home university. These students may also participate in extra-curricular activities offered by UDD, comprising different sports and summer and winter community works, among many others.

Students from universities with which there is a bilateral agreement in force are exempt from academic fees at UDD. Those students from foreign universities with no bilateral agreement with UDD must attend at UDD as Visitor Students and pay the fee agreed upon for those cases.
