Our Services

Global Partnerships

The Global Partnerships division establishes and strengthens collaborations with universities and educational institutions around the world. Through these partnerships, we facilitate academic cooperation, research initiatives, faculty engagement, international programs, and university visits that enrich the UPH community and support the university’s global vision.

International Office

The International Office provides comprehensive support for international students and student mobility programs. We assist international students with visa and study permit applications, legal documentation, and general consultation throughout their studies at UPH. We also support UPH students in pursuing global learning experiences through student exchanges, study abroad programs, summer programs, and other international mobility opportunities. Our goal is to ensure that students are well-prepared to thrive in a global environment while experiencing meaningful cross-cultural learning.

Student Mobility Program

The Student Mobility Program enables students to undertake part of their studies at a partner institution, either within their home country or abroad. Designed to foster global learning and intercultural engagement, the program offers students a unique opportunity to experience different academic environments and cultures.

By participating, students can develop international perspectives, build global networks, enhance personal and professional skills, and gain valuable cross-cultural experiences. Credits earned during the mobility period may be transferred back to the home university, ensuring academic continuity while enriching the overall learning experience.

Types of Student Mobility Program

  • Short-Term Programs
    Short-Term Programs are international learning experiences that typically range from two weeks to one month, including summer schools, winter schools, cultural immersion programs, and other short academic activities. These programs provide students with valuable international exposure while requiring only a limited time commitment.
  • Study Abroad
    Study Abroad programs allow students to study at a host university for a semester or academic year. These programs generally offer a wider range of partner institutions and greater placement availability. Students are responsible for paying tuition fees to the host university, either in full or at a discounted rate, depending on the partnership arrangement.
  • Student Exchange
    Student Exchange programs enable students to study at a partner university for a semester or academic year while remaining enrolled at their home institution. Under most exchange agreements, tuition fees at the host university are waived, allowing students to gain international academic experience without paying additional tuition abroad.
