The original article requires translation.
The Congress of the Republic has proposed a law to extend until December 21, 2026 the period during which university graduates can automatically obtain a bachelor 's degree . This measure seeks to speed up the graduation process, allowing students to begin their professional career more quickly and efficiently upon completion of their studies, which would represent a considerable advantage for their professional development.
With this extension, it is expected that graduates will be able to enter the labor market without unnecessary delays, thus facilitating their professional insertion and contributing to the country's economic development. The proposal modifies the second final complementary provision of Law 31971 , which had already extended automatic baccalaureate until March 23 of this year , after several exceptional modifications during the pandemic.
Congressman Paul Gutiérrez, from the Magisterial Bloc , is the promoter of this bill, which also seeks to prevent dishonest practices in the preparation of theses. At this time, the bill is under review by the corresponding committee before moving towards the final ruling.

What will happen to students who do not automatically receive their high school diploma until 2026?
For those students who will not have this benefit, they must follow the rules set forth by Sunedu , such as the presentation of a thesis for high school, so they must continue with the recurring process of defending the thesis.
It may also vary depending on the provisions of the universities for granting bachelor's degrees to their students. In any case, those students who will not be able to have the benefit of the automatic bachelor's degree, should consult with the university centers where they study to find out the university's decisions regarding this provision.
What are the differences between automatic baccalaureate and the traditional process in Peru?
Automatic Baccalaureate: intended for university graduates who have successfully completed their undergraduate studies. This type of Baccalaureate does not require the preparation of a research paper or the passing of a final degree exam.
Traditional process: requires undergraduate students to complete a comprehensive curriculum, pass all subjects, complete a research paper (thesis) that they must defend before a jury, and pass a final degree exam. In addition, they must complete a second language certification.
What is the automatic bachelor's degree?
