BA/BS in Derecho

The Law programme at Universidad de Valparaíso qualifies graduates to practise as lawyers across the areas of the profession, including the defence and representation of people in judicial and administrative proceedings, legal advice and work in the judiciary. The course involves systematic study of the legal norms and principles in force. Graduates combine a rigorous understanding of law with an awareness of how society evolves and a commitment to justice as a core democratic value. The school blends tradition and modernity, with full-time researchers and teachers alongside practising lawyers from established firms and public institutions. Learning combines theory with practical experience. Students develop argumentation and legal research skills through practical exercises and clinical legal work. Graduates are prepared to advise clients, represent them in proceedings and contribute to justice.
