Laboratories

The CPU has practical courses that strengthen the lessons learned by the students in the theoretical courses. Its goal is to guarantee an optimal learning that allows them not only to pass the exams at the CPU, but also to be prepared to successfully face the university courses.

The laboratories are controlled by a teacher who is in charge of guiding the personal work of the students and giving counseling to those who need it. The laboratory material consists of a series of exercises and problems ranked by difficulty.

The work performed at the laboratories allows the students to face the tasks received during the week and that must be developed in order to achieve the proposed goals.

Counseling

Counseling, programmed according to a schedule established at the beginning of the term, aims to clarify the students’ doubts in relation to the resolution of the exercises contained in the study guides. Counseling also strengthens the most important topics, which are explained in a dynamic and brief manner.

Didactic material

At the beginning of each term, students receive the syllabi of the courses and, on each week, they receive a study guide that includes theory, practical examples, exercises and problems ranked by difficulty.

On each laboratory session, they receive a guide for practical courses, which is individually carried out in the classroom with the assistance of the teacher.

Psychological assistance

This service gives support to the students who have difficulties, such as low academic performance, as well as emotional problems and stress during exams. In addition, they receive counseling to make schedules and study methods. Youngsters with personal and interpersonal relationship problems in their family and social environments are also assisted.

In close connection with each Universidad de Lima’s faculty, this service gives vocational orientation to evaluate the abilities and interests of the youngsters, so that they can appropriately choose their undergraduate program.
