The National University of Music (UNM), the first of its kind in Latin America, obtained its institutional license from the National Superintendency of Higher University Education by complying with the basic quality conditions required by the University Law.
Resolution No. 0027-2025-SUNEDU/CD consolidates the transition of the historic National Conservatory of Music towards a modern public university with the capacity for international projection, and establishes a before and after for artistic education in the country.
With the licensing, UNM enters a new stage that will allow it to strengthen and diversify its academic offering, promote research in the arts, enhance musical creation, expand its specialized infrastructure and attract more students with an artistic vocation from all regions of Peru.
The Minister of Education, Jorge Figueroa, stated that the licensing puts Peru at the forefront of musical education in the region and is excellent news for our young talents and for all those who believe in art as an engine of human and cultural development.
He indicated that the National Conservatory of Music has trained entire generations of musicians who are today the pride of the country and now, as a licensed university, it will have the ability to expand its mission and open new opportunities for thousands of students.
From the Ministry of Education we have accompanied this process with a lot of commitment and we will continue to do so, because we want UNM to continue growing, fully consolidate and guarantee artistic training of excellence, he noted.
The licensing is the product of the joint effort of the university community and the support of the Ministry of Education, which provided technical-regulatory assistance and strategic guidance throughout the entire process. This support allowed UNM to meet quality requirements and present an academic proposal aligned with the standards of the Peruvian university system.
The Ministry of Education will continue to provide technical support to the National University of Music in this new stage, especially in its adaptation process and in the formation of its first governing bodies, guaranteeing transparent processes oriented towards excellence, said Minister Figueroa.
