UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM APPLICATION

Admission to our undergraduate degree programs requires qualification for a University of the Philippines (UP) campus and for the degree programs.  Admission into UP depends not only on your performance in the UP College Admission Test (UPCAT) but also on your high school grades. Entry into the UP Diliman campus tends to be competitive because of the number of applicants in the campus.

After qualifying in the UP Diliman campus, you are screened for acceptance into one of our degree programs, according to your preference. Campus qualifiers are ranked and accepted according to the number of slots available for the desired program.
