How to Study Abroad in Peru
Prepare to Study Abroad
Set goals
Your goals will shape your study abroad experience in Peru, acting as both your foundation and compass for how you spend your time, what you learn, and how deeply you connect.
- Focus on what makes Peru unique. This is your chance to study topics like Incan archaeology, biodiversity in the Amazon, or colonial legacies through a new lens.
- Get involved beyond the classroom. Join a festival, learn a traditional dance, or explore local markets. These experiences build a deeper connection to where you are.
- Commit to growing your language skills. Whether it’s practicing Spanish or picking up some Quechua, every conversation helps you feel more at home.
Understand the benefits
Studying in Peru gives you more than just credits. It gives you context. You’ll learn through the place as much as the program.
- Study in a place where what you learn isn’t just in a textbook. Whether you're exploring ancient ruins or navigating everyday life in the city, what you see and do helps everything click.
- Get a feel for a different academic rhythm. Classes might be more discussion-based or community-focused, and the learning style can be refreshingly hands-on.
- Come away with a broader view. Living in Peru means seeing how history, culture, and daily life all connect. That perspective sticks with you.
Things to know
You don’t need to know everything about Andean culture or be fluent in Spanish to thrive in Peru, but a few practical things help.
- Academic calendar - Most universities in Peru run on a semester system, with classes starting in March and August.
- Climate variations - The weather depends on where you are—coastal cities are dry, the highlands are cooler, and the Amazon is hot and humid year-round.
- Housing options - You can stay with a host family for a more immersive experience, or go for a student residence if you want more independence.
- Visa requirements - You might need a student visa depending on your nationality and how long you're staying. Check with your program or the nearest Peruvian consulate to be sure.
