Posgrado Universidad Científica del Sur

What Posgrado Universidad Científica del Sur does

Posgrado Universidad Científica del Sur is the graduate studies division of Universidad Científica del Sur, a private university headquartered in Surquillo, Lima, Peru, with a contact office in Miraflores. The division offers postgraduate degree programs (Master's degrees such as the MBA and Master's in Renewable Energies and Clinical Microbiology), professional diplomas (Risk Prevention, Occupational Medicine, Nutrition and Dietetics), and specialized programs across Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Technology, Veterinary, Law, Psychology, and Environmental Sciences — covering more than 14 disciplines. Its primary customers are working professionals and health-sciences practitioners seeking advanced credentials for career advancement and specialization.

The division delivers programs through three modalities — in-person, semi-presential (blended), and distance learning — with approximately 90% of the portfolio delivered via a virtual synchronous learning platform that supports real-time faculty-student interaction at national and international scale. The technology stack combines standard synchronous video delivery with in-person instruction rather than proprietary AI-powered features. Programs are differentiated through bundled dual certifications, notably the Digital Era Competencies certificate from TEC de Monterrey, the Energy Efficiency certificate from AENOR, and an exclusive international internship at Universitat Carlemany de Andorra, supported by a network of more than 20 international agreements.

Revenue is generated entirely through tuition fees for these postgraduate programs under a recurring per-program subscription-like structure. Go-to-market is direct-enrollment sales-led, driven by inbound inquiries via a dedicated email ([email protected]), three phone numbers, a contact office in Miraflores, and organic marketing through Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn. The division employs 37 people and operates with no publicly disclosed financial figures, parent-company funding, or external investors in the available source material.
