The Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru, established in 1917, is an academic community based on ethical values and Catholic values, a creator and disseminator of culture, wisdom and knowledge, a promoter of change, dedicated to the formation of the individual, so that he or she can be trained to take on key problems inherent to humanity and society.

Our vision is to lead the university in the country and be recognised nationally and international as a promotor and generator of development.

The values of the foundation of our culture and organisational means are essential elements that shape the identity of our university, giving it uniqueness and affirming its social presence.

Our values are:
Search for truth
Respect for dignity of each person
Pluralism
Social responsibility and commitment to development
Honesty
Solidarity
Justice
