Universidad Alas Peruanas

Universidad Alas Peruanas (UAP or Peruvian Wings University) was a university located in Lima, Peru, founded on April 26, 1996, through the Alas Peruanas Cooperative, which was composed of members of the Peruvian Armed Forces. It was later managed by Peruvian politician Joaquín Ramírez.

In January 2014, the school launched UAPSat-1, a satellite that monitors the environment outside the Earth's atmosphere aboard the Cygnus CRS Orb-1 mission.

Following a long license denial process by SUNEDU, the university permanently ceased operations in 2025.

History

The creation of the Alas Peruanas University was the idea of Fidel Ramírez Prado (Doctor of Education from the National University of San Marcos, with specialization courses in Spain, Canada, the United States, Panama, Israel, England and Mexico), who in March 1989 received the support of the delegates of the Alas Peruanas Cooperative General Assembly to proceed with such an ambitious project.

After almost seven years and long periods of paperwork, on April 26, 1996, by Resolution No. 102 the creation of the Universidad Alas Peruanas was authorised. Its first Rector was Mr. Fidel Ramírez Prado.

The Universidad Alas Peruanas opened on June 1, 1996, with five professional courses in the Jesús María district.

At present, it has 20 national branches and 34 professional courses of studies.
