University of Concepción

The University of Concepción (UdeC) is one of the largest traditional and prestigious universities in Chili (along with the University of Chile and the Catholic University of Chile). It is one of the 25 universities that make up the Council of Rectors of Chilean Universities. It was the first of them to be located in the central-southern region of the country, and the first to be established as a private corporation. Its headquarters is located in the city of Concepción but there are two other offices in Chillán and Los Angeles.
