General Information

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is responsible for the operation of all higher education institutions, both public and private.  The commission regulates course offerings, curricular development, building specifications, and tuition fees.

Structure

Higher education is offered at colleges and universities; both private and public. Almost all Philippine institutions operate on a semester system. The few institutions which operate on a trimester system, offer all classes in semester units, not quarter units. There are no institutions in the Philippines which operate on the quarter system. 

Admission Requirements

The primary admission requirement for entry to higher education in the Philippines is a high school diploma. Most colleges and universities have their own entrance examinations which students must complete in order to be admitted.

Programme of Study

Most Philippine degree programmes require completion of 135-160 semester units to graduate, although some four-year programmes require as few as 120 or as many as 200 units.
 
At the undergraduate level, two degrees are awarded: two-year associate degrees and four- to five-year bachelor’s degrees.  Upon successful completion of a bachelor’s degree programme, students may be eligible to continue their studies at the master’s or doctoral level. Master’s programmes are generally two- to three-years in duration and doctoral degrees a further three- to four-years.
