University of the Philippines MBA Profile
The University of the Philippines (Filipino: Unibersidad ng Pilipinas) or U.P. is the national university of the Philippines. It was founded in 1908 and is now composed of seven constituent universities around the country providing tertiary-level education in almost every field, from agriculture, medicine, and law, to the natural and social sciences, engineering, creative writing, and fine arts.
U.P. is a highly reputable school for tertiary, graduate, and postgraduate studies. Admission alone is very competitive. The Philippine Daily Inquirer reports that more than 70,000 students flock to UP campuses and test centers nationwide to take the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT) for undergraduate admission. The five-hour test covering Mathematics, Science, language proficiency and reading comprehension is administered in two batches (usually in August), and divided into morning and afternoon shifts. The top 50 qualifiers receive the U.P. Oblation Scholarships.
U.P. is noted for its highly politicized student leaders who promote various causes as well as positions on pressing national issues.Indeed, U.P. has educated some of the country's most popular political and social leaders, economists, lawyers, scientists, engineers, medical doctors, creative artists and entrepreneurs. Several Philippine Presidents have also attended courses in the University either as undergraduates or as postgraduate students.
The foremost symbol of U.P. is the Oblation. This is a figure of a naked man, arms outstretched and face pointed upwards, symbolizing selfless dedication and service to the nation. Through the years, it has come to symbolize the value of education ("I have nothing but knowledge") and the desire of new students for knowledge ("clothe me with knowledge").
U.P. students and graduates are referred to as "Iskolar ng Bayan" ("scholars of the nation").
