University of Lima

During 1960 and 1961, a group of bold academic and business leaders united under the Prodies Civil Association with a share vision: to found a university that would drive progress through top-tier education.

After two years of efforts to achieve this goal, Universidad de Lima was founded in accordance with Supreme Decree 23, dated April 25, 1962.
