Abstract: There are various concepts about human development and each concept assumes certain indicators to establish the human development index. Most of the concepts have an economic connotation, which is far from the meaning that university students give to human development. This research aims to reveal the social imaginaries of the students of the National University "Hermilio Valdizán" of Huánuco, Peru, about human development. Therefore, the interpretive paradigm, qualitative methodology perspective and hermeneutic phenomenological method were assumed. The information was collected through in-depth interviews with 16 students of the aforementioned university and was processed using Atlas Ti 9.1. The findings are presented in the following categories: conception of human development, conception of quality of life, components of human development, perception of the human development index, does the human development index reflect the quality of life of people?, proposals for new indicators for human development. It is concluded that it is necessary to update the indicators of human development.
