Joint Program

Mapúa offers joint programs with its partner universities abroad. This involves a student taking a degree in two phases: first at the home university for a specified period and then at the host university for another period. At the end of the program, depending on the agreement with the partner university, the student will be conferred with degree(s) from both universities.

English Camp

The Philippines is one of the largest English-speaking countries in the world. Foreigners choose the Philippines to study the English language because they can learn not only within the confines of the classroom, but in almost all social situations they find themselves in the country.

Mapúa has developed an intensive program for inbound exchange students at the undergraduate level to promote the use of spoken English in various settings such as academic, professional, cultural, and social situations. This program includes brief immersion of students in various in-campus and out-of-campus activities that foster facility and confidence in the use of the English language. Students under the English camp are also immersed with Mapúa student organizations and major English classes of native speakers. They are also brought to cultural trips, adventure trips, and team building activities.

International Summer Program

Renewable Energy Innovation and Leadership Experience

In the summer, inbound exchange students flock to Mapúa to join in its renewable energy innovation and leadership experience. This school at the undergraduate level has a goal of exposing students to the Filipino culture and history. Activities during the summer school include cultural and historical visits in Manila’s tourist spots and nearby provinces, industry and plant visits, adventure trips, and immersion with locals.
