Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú - PUCP (reviews)

As a Business Management student at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP), I emphasize the unparalleled cultural richness and educational excellence that characterize this prestigious institution. PUCP provides a comprehensive educational experience that fosters development both in attitude and academics. The extensive variety of resources available, carefully provided by the university, plays a crucial role in significantly enriching the educational journey. Specifically, the cultural richness within the institution facilitates integration with students from diverse regions of Peru and around the world, expanding horizons and promoting a deeper understanding of the global reality. Furthermore, the high academic standards ensure the training of highly competent professionals globally. Without a doubt, I would recommend the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru to those seeking a top-notch education, accompanied by formative experiences that transcend academic boundaries.

I am a student at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru. I study political science. The university offers a fairly high level of quality in education, leads scientific research. Something worth highlighting is that the university community space is quite rich on a cultural level, it even has one day a week, Thursdays, a range of hours dedicated specifically to cultural projection in different activities, be it dances or conversations, theater performances, among others. They also offer volunteering and entrepreneurship activities organized at two annual fairs. It also has its own language center where English, Portuguese, Spanish and Quechua are taught. Its university community is quite diverse with people from all regions of the country and people from abroad, making the cultural exchange open and fluid. Its professors offer a broad vision of different social, economic, and public problems, among others. and they give you the tools to be able to analyze the different situations that occur and concern the population since their objective is to train professionals with empathy, responsibility, social awareness and critical analysis. It is also worth noting that during the pandemic our country went through a serious crisis of medical resources and that the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru actively participated with the government in the creation of oxygen plants. On the other hand, without infrastructure it is quite complete focused on a city with high seismic risk. Its areas are spacious, ventilated, and allow coexistence between colleagues.

My personal experience while being a student was like many others, challenging as the syllabus for my career in Industrial Engineering was very demanding, yet also gave me the strenght to survive in a competitive environment. I learned to manage my time in order to success in my subjects while also keeping up with my social life, as it was very important to chill down and enjoy time with friends and be relieved from the stress of the middle term exams, projects and research reports that we had to prepare in order to finish the career successfully.

My classmates were in a similar situation, the saddest thing was that our conversations were subject related. For me it’s like work, when I’m done with work I want to talk about anything else but work. However, if you hang out with your workmates, it is very difficult to find another topic but the one everyone has in common. That’s why after class, I used to go to a different bulding still inside campus and hang out with people from different careers. Even thought they started talking about their own subjects, forr me it was something new, something fresh and felt like I was finnaly somewhere else far from my own challenges for a moment and was able to take a break from stress.

It was not until I studied a Diploma in Business Coaching 3 years ago that I learned how to deal with college-related stress. My plan is to do an MBA in the future and with that and my previous experience at college my school life will be as challenging as the previous one, but with the new tools that I have acquired and I’m confident I will enjoy it more.

I attended PUCP in 2016, I was in the General Law studies program.

The first thing you that captivates you is the beautiful campus, with lots of green spaces and recreational areas. Whenever you are not in class you can lay in the grass and relax. For lunch or snacks there is several cafeterias and cafes to fit into all nutritional styles. There is salad bars,a couple of restaurants and a food court with everything from Chinese fusion to a juice bar.

Another wonderful feature its study spaces and libraries. Their online library and physical l library have everything you might ever need for you studies and even subjects you are interested in outside of the classroom. The librarians are always helpful and kind to the students, which makes the capacity very welcoming.

The teachers I had the pleasure of having, had life career behind them and were very knowledge in what they were teaching. This is always important because we were aware of the latest environment and current nature of our field.

The university also counts with different facilities to help with your life outside your studies such as counselling for mental health.

The only downside of the university is the price, it is very expensive to study here. Almost twice as much as other universities in the area. The price of the material can also add up, specially the copies. Due to my career choice all classes requieres several copies per semester and if you are going to study law its a price you have to have in consideration when budgeting.

Overall, if you are able to pay the tuition I would highly recommend this establishment.
