Everything on this page is about Universidad Tecnologica Metropolitana's own students of this programme and what SIES publishes for it; every block sets it beside the programme across Chile, counted the same way. Students are followed for the institution as a whole: only where it is taught is split by campus.

First-year dropout is the share of the institution's entrants to this programme in 2023–2025 who were enrolled at no institution the following year, counted by PuroChile on Mineduc's register for the institution as a whole — the same on each of its campuses; "—" is fewer than 30 entrants. The first five columns are Mineduc's enrolment register for 2026: the campus, its first-year entrants (1–2 where there were fewer than three), the mean yearly list fee of those entrants (a fee filed in UF reads "UF"), the formal length in semesters, the timetables, and under the name the institution's accreditation as the register files it. The last three are what SIES publishes on mifuturo.cl (release 2025-2026) for the institution and this generic programme — the same figure on every campus of an institution, because SIES does not publish them by campus. "s/d" means SIES did not publish it, usually because fewer than eleven graduates could be matched.
Who stays, who changes, who drops out
cohort 2018Everyone who started this programme here is looked up in the next year's enrolment register by their masked id: still in this programme here; here in another programme; at another institution; or not enrolled anywhere, which is first-year dropout. Changing programme or institution is not dropping out, and not every dropout is final: some come back later, which one year's register cannot see. A window or a cohort under 30 people carries no rate.
19 people started it here in 2023–2025: under 30, so the window carries no rate.
Each point is one cohort that started here, found the next year; a cohort under 30 people has no point. The last, 2018, had 35: 22.9% enrolled nowhere in 2019, 51% still in the programme.
Who graduates, and when
titles 2007–2025The same cohorts followed into the register of titles: the share with a title in this generic programme by years since they started here — from this institution or from any other, since someone who moved and finished the same programme elsewhere did finish it. 6 years is the formal length here rounded up plus one. A recent cohort has a short line, not a low one: the register goes to 2025.
Horizontal axis: years since entry (0 is the year they started).
35 people started here in 2018. "Titled in another" is someone whose first title of the same level is in a different generic programme. The row for Chile is that year's whole cohort of the programme, over the same 6 years.
How long it really takes
titles 2023–2025The titles in this programme that Universidad Tecnologica Metropolitana gave in 2023–2025, in regular plans: from the start of the semester of entry to the date of the title, against the formal length. On average 8.8 years for a formal 5.0; across Chile, 7.8 for 5.1. 44 of its 44 titles have the dates to be measured. These are the people who graduated here, not a cohort that started here.
After graduating
mifuturo.cl · 2025-2026SIES publishes no employment or income for this programme at Universidad Tecnologica Metropolitana on mifuturo.cl (release 2025-2026). It leaves out any combination with fewer than eleven graduates it can match to a tax return, broad catch-all groups and postgraduate programmes. PuroChile does not estimate what SIES did not publish. It does for 3 other institutions: see the programme's page.
Is it growing or shrinking here?
2007–2026Under 20 entrants a year at one end of the series, so no percentage change is printed: it would be measuring a handful of people. Each figure compares three-year averages, never two single years, and is printed only where both average at least 20 entrants; the windows leave out 2020–2021. More entrants is more places and more demand, not a better programme.
67% of its 2026 entrants here are women. The same programme across Chile is on its own page.

Mineduc's enrolment and titles registers (SIES), read whole for every year and followed person by person by the masked id Mineduc publishes for that purpose; employment and income from SIES on mifuturo.cl. A programme has a page at an institution where it reached 10 entrants there in some year and is taught there today or published on mifuturo. The institutions of a programme add up to the programme, entrant by entrant and cohort by cohort. How each figure is made, and its checks.
