N2 - This paper examines how postgraduate students use and perceive digital technologies in Tacna, a border region at the south of Peru. The study was positioned in the interpretive paradigm with qualitative research design. Semi-structured interview with open-ended questions was selected as the means of data. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the verbatim transcription as outlined by Braun and Clarke. The digital technologies that participants mostly use are the Smartphone, laptop, Smart TV, WhatsApp, email, the university's institutional Intranet and social networks (Instagram, Facebook and Twitter). The students are aware of the benefits of using digital technologies for academic and social purposes such as communication, closeness, access to information, entertainment, among others.
