As a non-profit institution, UCH positions itself around academic quality, social relevance, and the formation of professionals capable of contributing to Peru's development. Its communications emphasize innovation, research, and community engagement, including participation in events such as the Noche Iberoamericana de los Investigadores and student achievements recognized by public bodies. The university also runs continuing-education and research activities, and maintains an active news and institutional achievements section on its website. UCH's campus life and outreach include open days, scholarship and financial-aid initiatives such as GEOBECA, and academic conferences organized by its programs.

History

The Universidad de Ciencias y Humanidades (UCH) was created by Resolution No. 411 of the Consejo Nacional para la Autorización de Funcionamiento de Universidades (CONAFU) on 16 December 2006, establishing it as a private, non-profit civil association in Lima, Peru. This founding resolution allowed the university to begin operations within Peru's higher-education framework. Over the following decade, UCH developed its academic structure, offering undergraduate programs across several faculties. In 2017, Peru's university system underwent a major reform with the creation of the Superintendencia Nacional de Educación Superior Universitaria (SUNEDU), which took over the licensing of universities. On 21 November 2017, SUNEDU granted UCH its institutional licensing after verifying that the university met the basic quality conditions required by law. This licensing was formalized through Resolution No. 071-2017, published on the same date. Since licensing, UCH has continued to expand its academic offerings and strengthen its quality assurance. It obtained ICACIT accreditation for certain programs and added new offerings such as Medicina Humana. The university has also promoted research and innovation, participating in events like the Noche Iberoamericana de los Investigadores and supporting student initiatives recognized by public institutions. In its communications, UCH highlights that over 90% of its graduates find employment within their first year after graduation, and it has celebrated its 20th anniversary, reflecting its growth since 2006.
