Developing World-Class Students in Peru | Percy Marquina Feldman

243 CENTRUM is very proud to be
at the forefront in applying artificial
intelligence in the academic world, and
with the same enthusiasm we are open
In a period of six months,
students’ satisfaction with to share our experience, and learn from
the program was boasted colleagues around the world
by 100%, from a total of
243 participating students
make smarter decisions based on logical and
environmental analysis. Having cutting-edge tools
to generate successful students provides the
school with an intrinsic added value.
We at CENTRUM understand that students
are aware that the world presents an increasingly
challenging environment and we are looking to
make the educational experience as constructive
as possible. For example, PIE can cope with the
stress developed whenever students have the
feeling of needing more knowledge and not having
enough time to obtain it (educational stress); if the
student is aware of experiencing this type of stress
he or she will be more capable of addressing it
successfully.
Even though CENTRUM prides itself of having
reached high marks with its world-class business
masters’ programmes we are also very honoured
to be part of a 100-year humanistic tradition via
our institution La Pontificia Universidad Católica
del Perú.
It is in that spirit that we seek to enhance, and
blend, not only business-related capabilities, but the
human component of our masters and doctorate
students with the help of AI. With PIE we expect the
students to learn more about their academic and
personal profile and how data can interact with the
ever-changing requirements of the labour market.
The data produced by PIE can have many
applications such as tailored syllabus and
academic literary production, which can benefit
the students and the institution. CENTRUM is very
proud to be at the forefront in applying AI in the
academic world, and with the same enthusiasm
I am open to share our experience and learn from
colleagues around the world.
