The University of the Philippines Open University(UPOU) is a public research university and is the fifth constituent university of the University of the Philippines System.[2] The majority of UPOU students are based in the Philippines but all of its programs can be taken anywhere in the world. While primarily a virtual university, it has a physical campus that houses admin and faculty offices in Los Baños, Laguna, with Mega Learning Hubs (MLH) in Manila and Cebu.
UPOU was established in 1995 by the UP Board of Regents as the evolution of the UP Distance Education Program. UPOU offers accredited graduate and undergraduate degrees as well as diploma courses and Professional Teaching Certificates (PTC) to Filipino and international students in more than 70 countries.[3] It also offers MOOCs on various subjects through its official platform, Massive Open Distance eLearning (MODeL), and hosts its degree programs through its official student portal, MyPortal, both learning platforms were developed using a free and open-source learning management system called Moodle.
As of 2019, UPOU had 4,086 students enrolled in various programs representing 7.3% of the student population of the entire University of the Philippines system.[4] This makes it the 4th largest constituent university by student population after UP Manila, and just slightly more than UP Visayas, which had 7.2%, while having the smallest budget of any constituent university.[5]
UPOU was declared the National Center of Excellence in Open Learning and Distance Education by the Commission on Higher Education and is the leader of the Consortium of Open Distance Education Providers in the Philippines (CODEPP) and a member of the International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICDE).[6][7]
