Pontifical Catholic University of Peru

The Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, founded in 1917 in Lima, was Peru's first non-profit private university and is one of the best places to study abroad in South America. PUCP, which is ranked first or second in the country, has a sprawling campus dotted with lush gardens, cosmopolitan buildings, and even archaeological dig sites.

Because PUCP places a strong emphasis on community-based learning, international students will undoubtedly benefit greatly from these opportunities to immerse themselves in Peruvian culture. There is no better way to learn about your host city than to get involved in the local community!

The Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, along with the National University of San Marcos and the Cayetano Heredia University, is one of only three Peruvian universities to have ranked first nationally in various editions of major international universities rankings.
