Karla Ávila Merino carried out her Master’s studies at Autonomous University of Puebla in Mexico and came to Chile to study three subjects of the Master of Business Administration at Universidad de La Frontera.

One of the objectives of Universidad de La Frontera (UFRO) is to promote the undergraduate and graduate mobility, being convinced that national and international student mobility opens great learning opportunities and personal growth.

In this context, Karla Ávila Merino carried out her Master’s studies at Autonomous University of Puebla (BUAP) in Mexico, what allowed her to come to Chile for three months and to take three subjects of the Master of Business Administration (MBA) of the Faculty of Law and Business at UFRO, thanks to a mobility and cooperation agreement between both universities.

For the welcome ceremony for the new graduate students 2023, the Master of Business Administration asked the Mexican student Karla Ávila to share her impressions about her stay in Chile and the training process at UFRO.

MOBILITY AT UFRO

The idea of carrying out her Master’s studies in Chile started about ten years ago. “I tried more than three times to go, but without success. However, after finishing my studies at BUAP in Mexico, I finally had the chance to go to Chile and to take three subjects at Universidad de La Frontera,” she explained.

Karla pointed out that, among the possible universities for her mobility, UFRO was the only one that met all the requirements, which is why she chose to come to UFRO.

According to Karla, the choice of the university consisted of a comprehensive search, in which she tried to find a program with similar standards to her study programme at BUAP in Mexico. Therefore, she made the corresponding consultations and compared different options, among which UFRO was the one that met all her requirements, since it had the corresponding mobility agreement, the Master’s programme and similar bases.

“My stay at UFRO allowed me to broaden my horizons and to make new experiences. I would definitely recommend others to make use of mobility opportunities at UFRO, in order to live such a great experience in the beautiful La Araucanía Region,” she said.
