Avis sur Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP)

The master I studied there was a special programme, designed ad-hoc and financed by the UE. It is not a common study programme of Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Anyway, the preparation of the teachers that gave us classes is absolutely excellent and proves that South Americas produces as good professionnals as the rest of the world. My recommendation, as a foreign student there, is to try to talk to teachers and ask them for advice and contacts as often as possible, because the majority of them are deeply implicated in the peruvian political, social and economic life, and can intriduce you to the reality of the country in a priviledge way.

Maybe it exists, but I think a University as PUCP must be implicated in the improvement of Peru's development. The theoretical part of classes is of course necessary, but I think it is also necessary to create in the wealthy students of such an important university a concrete conscience that they are the future and the hope of their country.

If you plan to study in Lima, I STRONGLY recommend you go to La Catolica. All the staff (especially the internationaL dept), tutors and students are very friendly and helpful!

As I Said before, the teachers and students are of high quality. Interacting with them, living their reality, being one of them (including going for dinner at the house of you class mates and meet their family) is the best way to enjoy that University.
