PUCP - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú

The Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, founded in Lima in 1917, is our nation’s number one university, one of the twenty-five best universities in Latin America and the only Peruvian university to be listed among the top five-hundred universities in the world in the international rankings.  This placement is recognition of the quality of its education, research, publications, social responsibility, contribution to culture and indisputable institutional and academic leadership. None of this would be possible without the continuing efforts of all those who together comprise this institution:  its professors, students, general staff and graduates.

As authorities, we have the responsibility of continuing this undertaking, as we continue the course set forth in the Institutional Strategic Plan, and of aiming to ensure that the Catholic University solidifies its academic leadership, enhances its international recognition and continues its service to Peruvian society.
