Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP): Academic rigour, the plurality of scientific and humanistic perspectives, Catholic ethical values and principles, a culture of discrepancy and tolerance, and a commitment to the development of Peru and its people define the character of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP).
Our model seeks to serve the country and the world through the comprehensive education of our students, the development of knowledge and our commitment to society.
