REFLEXIONES Y ANTECEDENTES EN TORNO A LOS FUNDAMENTOS DE LA UNIVERSIDAD PERUANA Y SU AUTONOMÍA

The work was proposed to reflect on the background and origins of the Peruvian university, its foundations in its development process until the conquest of its Autonomy and how this influenced its development until the law 30220. To achieve this objective, a documentary review was conducted with an exploratory design through the analysis of literature, by which the universal context of knowledge, which affects the wealth of the ancient world that fed the European University, cradle of the university institution, was the starting point. Likewise, the development process of the Peruvian university, the conquest of its autonomy and how this generates the freedom to incorporate science and technology. As for the Autonomy, its foundations and application are analyzed until the enactment of law 30220. It is concluded that after several centuries of creation since the XV century, the Peruvian university only fulfilled its role of knowledge creation in the 30’s of the XX century with the conquest of its Autonomy.
