.We are delighted to formally welcome Universidad Privada Boliviana (UPB) as a Strategic University Partner of the Global Undergraduate Awards.
Since its founding in 1992, UPB has established itself as Bolivia’s leading private university, recognised for its commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and the development of future leaders. Created through the vision of Bolivia’s business community during a period of national transformation, the University has remained dedicated to preparing graduates who combine academic achievement with entrepreneurial thinking and a strong sense of social responsibility.
UPB is a natural addition to the Global Undergraduate Awards community because of its shared belief that higher education should empower students to make meaningful contributions beyond the classroom. Through a strong emphasis on research, innovation, and multidisciplinary learning, UPB encourages students to develop ideas that address real-world challenges while preparing them to thrive in an increasingly global society.
Today, UPB operates campuses across La Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz, delivering a modern multimodal academic experience that has earned both national and international recognition. The University has been recognised as Bolivia’s premier private university and continues to strengthen its global outlook through international collaboration, academic quality, and industry engagement.
The Global Undergraduate Awards exists to recognise the world’s most outstanding undergraduate work, providing students with an international platform to showcase their research and connect with a global network of emerging academics, researchers, and future leaders. Through this new partnership, UPB students will gain greater opportunities to have their work recognised on the world stage while joining a community that celebrates originality, academic excellence, and impact.
"We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Universidad Privada Boliviana (UPB) to The Global Undergraduate Awards partner network. From our very first conversation, the enthusiasm and commitment shown by the UPB team made it clear that this would be a truly meaningful partnership. We are excited to work together to discover, celebrate, and showcase the exceptional undergraduate talent emerging from Bolivia, while creating new opportunities for students to gain international recognition."
This partnership also reflects a shared commitment to nurturing the next generation of innovators and change-makers. By encouraging undergraduate research and recognising exceptional academic achievement, both organisations aim to inspire students to think critically, challenge convention, and contribute solutions to the complex issues shaping our future
We are proud to welcome Universidad Privada Boliviana to our growing international network of Strategic University Partners and look forward to working together to champion undergraduate excellence across Bolivia and beyond.
