The University for Peace (UPEACE) was established by United Nations General Assembly resolution in 1980 and is headquartered in Ciudad Colón, Costa Rica — a unique UN-mandated, internationally chartered graduate university dedicated to peace, conflict, human-rights, and sustainable-development studies, with a highly international student body and English-medium programmes. ⚠️ Added by curator (collector omission of an internationally significant institution).

Always confirm a university's current accreditation with the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an endorsement.

Why this is free

AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to help people find their way to education — and the wider project supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
