According to the ranking of Quality of the Chilean Universities 2017, prepared by the Advanced Studies Group (GEA in Spanish) Universitas and El Mercurio, the Universidad del Desarrollo was ranked No. 11, showing an important rise from the position No. 17 in which was maintained since 2013, thus becoming the best among the country’s private universities.
In its sixth edition, the study highlights just that the UDD was one of the institutions that showed significant improvements, by climbing 6 places. “The case of the University of development is very praiseworthy for its dynamism and the uniformity with which it has increased the score of most of its indicators,” the researchers at GEA Universitas pointed out in El Mercurio.
