From first to number one is our courageous battle cry which summarizes UNC’s audacious goals of excellence in quality, access, relevance, and responsiveness.

With Ayala Education’s core purpose of reinventing education to alleviate poverty, UNC endeavors to fulfill its tri-focal function of instruction, research, and extension while making education accessible and affordable. Our key thrusts include a borderless campus through leveraging on technology and creating access online and a career pathing for students that balances theory with experiential learning, values formation, and individual mentoring / coaching to make sure that every UNCean makes it.

The biggest strength of a university are its students and UNC students are only as strong as the faculty and personnel who nurtures them.

Thus, our 3rd thrust shall be talent upscaling of our faculty and non-teaching staff towards a digital and global education.

Fourth, we shall ensure that UNC will provide great student life experience, not just by meeting standards but by pursuing a master development plan that will support our academic strategy as well as expanding student learning opportunities that will bring out the best of their potentials, whether it is in arts, culture, sports, or international experience. Lastly. we will enhance access to our programs through creative student financing program, leveraging on government support, alumni stakeholders, and pursuing engaged partnerships.

While, UNC is a gift to the Bicolanos by a devoted son of Bicol who believed in the power of education to transform lives, let us celebrate our own gift for UNC, our gift of service which will propel UNC as the University of Choice in Bicol.
