Mission & Strategy

The Historical Mission of the UPAEP “demands the rescue of the values and generic identity of the university institution for the current reality, as well as the training of social leaders.”

The Cultural Mission of the UPAEP “requires effectively contributing to the evangelization of culture and the creation of currents of thought such as center of study, research and dissemination, either because of the values and attitudes of the students who are trained there, or because of the proposal that produces in all fields of knowledge and human activity.”

The Pedagogical Mission of the UPAEP “calls for the truly comprehensive training of women and men, highly competent professionals and supportive.”

That is why we synthetically formulate the institutional purpose: “Create currents of thought and train leaders who transform the society, in the search for truth, integrating faith, science and life”.

The Mission of the Film and Audiovisual Production Degree trains graduates in film and audiovisual production who develop, produce, post-produce and disseminate cinematographic and audiovisual works, through the creation of integrative, reflective and investigative projects of the audiovisual discipline, for the search for significant and humanizing social change in those who make cinema.
