goals

To train graduates capable of addressing problems in matters related to criminology, citizen security and criminal justice, contributing strategic solutions from public policies and under a multidisciplinary approach, responding to both the regional (Latin American) context and national and local realities.

Applicant Profile

Applicants must hold a Bachelor's degree or a Professional Title, the level, content, and duration of which correspond to training equivalent to a Bachelor's degree from the University of Chile, as determined by the Academic Committee. Furthermore, applicants should preferably demonstrate prior training and a professional or academic background aligned with the program's aims and requirements, with greater emphasis placed on those with a background in Social Sciences, Law, Public Administration, and related fields.

Graduate profile

Regarding the expected profile for graduates of the program, it is anticipated that those who complete and pass the master's program will be specialist professionals "who: (a) are able to reflect on, present, and debate their views on citizen security problems in Latin America, in both national and local contexts; (b) are trained to propose policies, strategies, and programs based on technical, political, and ethical criteria that allow progress in solving these problems; (c) are prepared to promote innovative mechanisms for the design, management, and evaluation of public policies, strategies, and programs in the areas of criminal justice and citizen security; and (d) possess the necessary skills to lead reform processes within their institutions." The evaluation of the graduate profile is related to the Equivalent Training Activity, which incorporates the aforementioned elements and translates them into objectives associated with acquiring theoretical and practical skills and abilities applied to specific contexts proposed by the students themselves. The ongoing involvement of the student in defining their topics and guiding professors is expected to allow the contexts presented to reflect or be associated with their professional realities, so that the evaluation is authentic.
