History

UAutónoma was founded on August 11, 1989 in Temuco city, capital of Araucanía region of Chile, under the name of "Universidad Autónoma de Sur", and subsequently, in 2006 changed its name to "Universidad Autónoma de Chile".

The university has full autonomy, which allows it to directly grant degree and diplomas. After its autonomy certification by High Education Board of Chile, the university has continued to maintain its institutional quality, for which has continued the process of homologation and the recognition of its degree plans and programs with Spanish universities of high tradition, such as those of Universidad de Barcelona, Universidad de Salamanca and Universidad de Sevilla, inter alia.

In January 2003, UAutonoma inaugurated its Talca campus in the facilities of Instituto Profesional Valle Central. By May of the same year El Llano Subercaseaux campus was settled in San Miguel commune, in the facilities of the former San Andrés University.

By 2009, Providencia campus was open, and a year later the university bought INCACEA’s Institute of Sciences and Arts -which was in bankruptcy- to reinforce the brand and launch technical and professional studies academic offer, with headquarters in Las Condes and Viña de Mar. In 2012, after CAN-Chile refusal of accreditation, INCACEA closed down Viña del Mar campus.^[3]

In 2005, the university incorporated the new Providencia campus, with over 33,000 square meters.^[4]
