Direct peers

• Universidad del Pacífico: Top-tier private Lima university focused on business, economics, and engineering. Comparable as a premium private institution competing for the same high-end Peruvian student segment.
• Universidad de Lima: Private Lima university with engineering, business, and computing faculties and corporate training programs. Directly comparable on curriculum mix and corporate engagement, though with a more traditional positioning.
• Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola (USIL): Large private Peruvian university with engineering and business programs and active international partnerships. Comparable on full-stack educational offering plus corporate partnerships, though broader and less STEM-specialized.
• Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (UPC): Large private Peruvian university with strong engineering and business programs and a multi-campus Lima footprint. Competes with UTEC for the same undergraduate market, but with a more vocational, multi-campus orientation.
• Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP): Peru's leading private university in Lima, offering engineering, business, and computing programs. Directly comparable as a Lima-based private research university competing for the same high-achieving Peruvian high-school graduates as UTEC.
