History

• Chilean higher education was long dominated by the University of Chile and the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, and private universities of the modern kind appeared only after the 1980 reform that allowed new institutions to be created, with UDP among the first founded under the new rules.智利高等教育长期由智利大学与智利天主教大学主导，现代意义上的私立大学直到 1980 年允许设立新院校的改革之后才出现，迭戈·波塔莱斯大学正是最早依据新规则创办的院校之一。
• Universidad Diego Portales was founded in 1982 on the initiative of the founders of the Professional Institute of Sales and Advertising, known as IPEVE, which had operated since 1963.迭戈·波塔莱斯大学于 1982 年由销售与广告专业学院的创办者发起建立，该学院简称 IPEVE，自 1963 年起办学。
• The new university took its name from Diego Portales, the minister and political organiser of the 1830s whose constitutional order shaped Chile for much of the nineteenth century.新大学以迭戈·波塔莱斯命名，这位 1830 年代的大臣与政治组织者所奠定的宪政秩序在 19 世纪大部分时间里塑造了智利。
• Portales was born in 1793, made his fortune in Valparaíso trade and was killed in 1837 during the war against the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, a career that made him a symbol of state-building.波塔莱斯生于 1793 年，在瓦尔帕莱索经商致富，1837 年在对抗秘鲁-玻利维亚邦联的战争中遇害，其经历使他成为国家建构的象征。
• Teaching began in 1983 with three faculties, Law, Administrative Sciences and Psychology, a combination that reflected the professional ambitions of the institution's founders.学校于 1983 年开始授课，设法律、管理科学与心理学三个学院，这一组合反映了创办者的职业化抱负。
