There are three campuses: Taguig, Manila and Visayas.
- The main campus is located in Taguig City. It has all the undergraduate programs except for BS Biology & BS Information Technology which are offered at the Manila Campus.
- The Manila Campus is located in downtown Manila, near the National Museum of Fine Arts and Bonifacio Global City (BGC). This campus houses all undergraduate courses except for BS Biology & BS Information Technology. It also offers some graduate programs such as MBA, Master of Public Health and Doctorate of Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy or Audiology.
- The Visayas Campus is located in Iloilo City on a sprawling 200-hectare land area with a rich history including World War II bunkers that can be explored by students today! The campus consists of five buildings: four academic buildings (named after trees) and one dormitory named after an animal – crocodile!

The engineering, science and technology programmes are at the graduate school level. There are also graduate programmes and postgraduate research programmes in various areas of science, technology and engineering which can be taken by students from other colleges/departments of the university.
The focus at TUP is on real-world applications of knowledge rather than theory.
The focus at TUP is on real-world applications of knowledge rather than theory. The university partners with companies to develop practical solutions to problems, and also provides business training for undergraduates and graduates who want to start their own businesses.
TUP’s research projects are broad in scope, including studies into sustainable development, bioengineering, information technology, renewable energy sources and microfinance.
The university has grown from a small coeducational college established by the American colonial government in 1908 with fewer than 300 students to one of the country’s largest universities today with more than 50 schools offering degrees at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
TUP is a school to be reckoned with. It started as an engineering school and has grown into one of the most progressive institutions in the country. It offers excellent programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as research opportunities for those who wish to pursue their passion in science, technology or engineering.
