The Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) is one of the most renowned centers of higher education in Latin America.

The UNMSM, founded on a strong commitment to academic excellence, has become a significant part of Peru's educational tradition through its Colleges of Medicine, Law, Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, Business Administration, Economics, Mathematics, Geography, Psychology, and several Colleges of Engineering. Also, the Museum of San Marcos, the Archaeology Museum, and the Institute of Tropical Medicine are part of the university that gives access to a wealth of cultural knowledge and research.

The UNMSM has been recognized throughout its 450 year history as an innovative Institution that prepares a diverse community of students for positions of responsibility and leadership in business, finance, government, medicine and technology. Without a doubt, Perú has an unequalled place in America for its archaeological sites, which is one of the highlights while studying at UNMSM.
