History

• The university was formally established in October 1988, in a period when Chilean law permitted new private universities, and it was inaugurated the following year, with first programmes chosen for the infrastructure they demanded rather than for existing academic traditions.该校于 1988 年 10 月正式设立，当时智利法律允许创办新的私立大学，并于次年举行落成典礼，首批专业按其对基础设施的要求而非既有学术传统来选择。
• It was first named Universidad Nacional Andrés Bello, after Andrés Bello, the scholar and jurist who in 1842 became the founding rector of the University of Chile.它最初定名为「国立安德烈斯·贝略大学」，以学者与法学家安德烈斯·贝略命名，他于 1842 年成为智利大学的创校校长。
• Its founding programmes were those needing heavy infrastructure, notably law, architecture, engineering, business and journalism, with civil engineering, accountancy and psychology added soon after.建校初期开设的是对基础设施要求较高的专业，尤其是法律、建筑、工程、商学与新闻，随后又增设土木工程、会计与心理学。
• Aquaculture engineering began teaching in 1993, paired with the creation of the Marine Research Centre at Caleta de Quintay, which grew into the leading national supplier of sea-urchin seed for the Chilean industry.水产养殖工程于 1993 年开始授课，同时在下金泰湾创建海洋研究中心，后者发展成为智利全国领先的海胆苗种供应者。
• By 1996 the university had nearly 6,000 students and 13 specialisations, and founding partners Luis Cordero, Ignacio Fernández and Marcelo Ruiz formed its first board of directors.到 1996 年，学校已有近 6,000 名学生与 13 个专业，创办合伙人路易斯·科尔德罗、伊格纳西奥·费尔南德斯与马塞洛·鲁伊斯组建了首届董事会。
• The founding board drew on supporters such as Álvaro Saieh, Miguel Ángel Poduje, Jorge Selume, Andrés Navarro and Juan Antonio Guzmán, with academics Joaquín Barceló and Manuel Krauskopf.董事会还汇聚了阿尔瓦罗·萨耶、米格尔·安赫尔·波杜赫、豪尔赫·塞卢梅、安德烈斯·纳瓦罗与胡安·安东尼奥·古斯曼等支持者，以及华金·巴尔塞洛与曼努埃尔·克劳斯科普夫等学者。
• From 2000 the university established itself as Chile's leading private university, expanding intake with indirect fiscal contributions granted to the country's best school-leavers in the national selection test.自 2000 年起，该校确立为智利领先的私立大学，并借助面向全国选拔考试最优考生的间接财政补助扩大招生。
• In 2003 it became the first private university to join Chile's new National Quality Assurance System, which aimed to make institutions guarantee academic standards and continuous improvement.2003 年，它成为第一所加入智利新设国家质量保障体系的私立大学，该体系旨在促使院校保证学术质量并持续改进。

• In 2007 it ranked first among Chilean private universities on prestige, and in 2008 it enrolled about 30,000 students, which prompted the decision to open a campus in Concepción.2007 年，该校在智利私立大学中声誉排名第一；2008 年在校生约 30,000 人，因而决定在康塞普西翁开设校区。
• The Concepción campus opened for the 2009 academic year, giving students in southern Chile a local alternative and extending the university beyond the capital for the first time.康塞普西翁校区于 2009 学年启用，为智利南部学生提供了本地选择，也首次把学校的影响扩展至首都之外。
• Chileans chose its owners as a strategic partner for the Laureate Education Consortium, an alliance the university describes as combining strong financial contribution with an academic network of prestige in Europe and the United States.智利资方选择该校的所有者作为劳瑞德教育集团的战略伙伴，学校称这一联盟兼具雄厚的资金投入与在欧洲及美国享有声誉的学术网络。
• The university was for years part of the Laureate Education network, until on 11 September 2020 that group ended its Chilean operations and transferred its institutions to the Fundación Educación y Cultura, a step it linked to Chile's 2020 constitutional referendum rather than to a withdrawal from education.该校曾多年隶属劳瑞德教育集团，直到 2020 年 9 月 11 日该集团结束在智利的运营，将其院校移交给「教育与文化基金会」；该集团称此举与智利 2020 年宪法公投后的局势相关，而非退出教育领域。
