The cost of the doctoral programme includes a total tuition fee of $20,000,000 for eight semesters and a registration fee of $500,000. However, the programme offers a UDD scholarship that covers the full cost of tuition and registration fees for all students over the course of the eight semesters. Additionally, as this is a full-time programme with a minimum weekly workload of 40 hours according to UDD general regulations of UDD Doctoral Programs, a monthly stipend of $1,398,732 (2026 value) is provided, along with a workstation, course materials and a meal allowance for use on workdays at university cafeterias and restaurants with which the university has agreements. These benefits are provided automatically to all incoming students and are valid for four years from the start of their studies in the programme. They are subject to renewal based on academic excellence.
Students accepted onto the Doctorate in Developmental Sciences and Psychopathology programme must apply for National doctoral scholarships, ANID for the 2027 academic year. Those entering the programme with the ANID National Doctoral Scholarship (which covers tuition, enrolment fees and living expenses) will receive an additional UDD scholarship and a meal voucher for use on campus, in addition to the ANID benefits. Applying for the ANID scholarship is a requirement for admission to the programme.
