POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES

The Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) is a state-run educational institution established under Republic Act No. 8292, also known as the Higher Education Modernization Act of 1997, along with its Implementing Rules and Regulations outlined in the Commission on Higher Education Memorandum Circular No. 4, series of 1997. Renowned as one of the country’s leading academic institutions, PUP thrives through the collective efforts of its vibrant community, which includes the Board of Regents, university officials, faculty and staff, students, organizations, and alumni.

Our students are proudly known as "Scholars of the Nation" (Iskolar ng Bayan), reflecting the support they receive through tuition subsidies from the Philippine Government and various non-government organizations. A diverse community, PUP welcomes international students from countries such as China, Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Tanzania, Nigeria, and Ghana, who pursue undergraduate and graduate programs in business, language, statistics, communication, and education. Additionally, students from Korea frequently visit PUP during the summer to participate in our Intensive English courses.
