Universidad de Lima

The training of Ulima’s civil engineers is based on sciences and technology, and its objective is that our future professionals may respond to the challenges posed by the society with expeditiousness, ethical soundness, creativity and innovation. At the same time, this training is in line with the development of soft skills: those that allow our engineers to assertively communicate, work in multidisciplinary teams, and exercise a significant leadership. For this reason, we promote and encourage research culture in student community from the most basic levels of the program.
