Universidad Alas Peruanas

About

Universidad Alas Peruanas (UAP) was a private institution in Peru, historically known for offering a broad range of professional careers across various faculties, including Law, Business Administration, and Engineering. While it aimed to provide accessible higher education throughout Peru with numerous branches, its operational license was ultimately cancelled by the national superintendency (SUNEDU) in 2019 due to non-compliance with basic quality conditions. Consequently, UAP is no longer authorized to admit new students or offer new academic programs, meaning there are no active international student programs, dedicated offices, or support services for prospective international students. Its most distinctive characteristic is its recent history of license cancellation, which significantly impacts its current status as an educational provider.

Background

Universidad Alas Peruanas (UAP or Peruvian Wings University) was a university located in Lima, Peru, founded on April 26, 1996, through the Alas Peruanas Cooperative, which was composed of members of the Peruvian Armed Forces. It was later managed by Peruvian politician Joaquín Ramírez. In January 2014, the school launched UAPSat-1, a satellite that monitors the environment outside the Earth's atmosphere aboard the Cygnus CRS Orb-1 mission. Following a long license denial process by SUNEDU, the university permanently ceased operations in 2025.
