Universities

Only institutions that still enrolled first-years in 2026 and averaged at least 300 entrants a year in both windows: a percentage change on a small base is noise with a large number on top. Those that opened later are not here — growing from nothing has no percentage — and neither are those that closed; both are listed further down.

Opening is the first year with first-year entrants after 2007; the register starts in 2007, so an institution already enrolling then may be much older. Closing is the last year with first-year entrants: an institution that stops admitting keeps teaching the students it has, and one absorbed by another is marked as such.

Inside universities only: the same programme taught at a university and at an institute is two intakes that share a name. Read over SIES's generic programme, not over the name each institution registered, and only programmes averaging at least 500 entrants a year in both windows. The programmes with a series cover between 94% and 97% of each year.

The campus, not where the students are from. A student from Chiloé enrolled in Santiago is a Santiago row.

Everyone who started a master's or a doctorate in Chile in these years, followed back by the masked student id to the institution of their last undergraduate title. Left, where they graduated; right, where they went on. A coloured ribbon is someone who stayed at the institution they graduated from; a grey one, someone who moved. Only the 15 largest institutions on each side are named; the rest are added into «other institutions» — the widest ribbon is other institutions to other institutions, which is how spread out postgraduate study is beyond the large universities — and «no title in the register» is people who graduated before 2007 or abroad, not people without a degree.

Largest first. The region is the one holding most of its 2026 entrants; the count after it is how many regions it had entrants in.
