Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to study at UP?

The cost of the program depends entirely on the tuition scale the institution assigns to each student. The university has four scales (1 through 4), designed so that no talent is left out for economic reasons. You can get a personalized estimate using the official UP tuition simulator.

What is UP's monthly tuition payment?

The monthly payment varies depending on the scale the university assigns and the number of credits enrolled in that term. Keep in mind that UP's first payment always includes the enrollment fee (S/ 380), the reference calculation is based on 20 credits, and institutional amounts can change every year in December.

How is the tuition scale determined?

The scale is assigned by UP after a process in which they thoroughly evaluate the family's economic situation, reviewing the applicant's school of origin and supporting documentation. This process aims to ensure the tuition can be sustained throughout the entire program without financial setbacks.

Can the scale change during the program?

Yes. The institution reviews the family situation in the event of unforeseen circumstances such as changes in income, a sibling joining the university, or serious health changes. The institution's goal is that no student interrupts their education for economic reasons.

Does UP offer scholarships or financial benefits?

Yes. The university has several options to support the outstanding academic effort of its incoming and current students:

Excellence

Full scholarship for the top-ranked student in each program for one academic year.

Competitions

Scholarships for winners of inter-school competitions validated by the institution.

Partnerships
