History of the Program

The Tri-College Ph.D. Philippine Studies Program traces its roots to two Diliman-based Ph.D. programs, instituted by the Asian Center and the then College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). In 1983, CAS split into three colleges. Two of the colleges that emerged, namely the College of Arts and Letters and the College of Social Sciences and Philosophy, continued to offer the degree separately.

In 1983, the UP Board of Regents initiated steps to integrate the three programs. A single curriculum with the same core courses for all three colleges was developed and instituted in 1993, but administered by each college separately, although the colleges coordinated in selected aspects of program administration. In 2000, a new initiative was launched by then Chancellor Emerlinda Roman to effect the full integration of the program under a single administrative structure. In 2004, the Tri-College Ph.D. Philippine Studies Program was established.

The Asian Center serves as the Secretariat of the Program.

PhD (Meteorology) by Research

Up diliman & university of reading, dual degree.

The Institute of Environmental Science & Meteorology of the University of the Philippines Diliman (UP IESM) and the University of Reading (UR) offer the opportunity to pursue a dual degree PhD program in Meteorology. The students will spend their first semester in UP, during which they finalize their research plans under the joint supervision by both institutions.  The next one and a half years is spent in UR to finish the other requirements and exposure to state-of-the-science in the field of meteorology. Students are expected to publish scientific papers in their final year in the Philippines.

The UP IESM is the sole institution offering graduate degrees in Meteorology in the country. In 2017, IESM revised its curriculum to incorporate advanced courses on computational and imaging techniques in weather forecasting and climate modeling, which are expected to improve our understanding of the changing climate and vulnerability to extreme events.  We tap the expertise of UR, ranked 2nd in the world for research in Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences, to further our goal of solving critical problems in the natural environment, particularly weather and climate in the tropics.

PhD by Research*

University of the philippines los baños & university of reading.

With specializations in fields contributing to the development of the agricultural sector and to ensuring food security, the Dual PhD by Research program will see faculty and researchers from the two universities jointly supervising students as they take advantage of broad opportunities to provide innovative, theory-based, systematic, and practical solutions to the agricultural and environmental concerns of glocal economies.

The program aims to produce graduates who have contributed to the body of knowledge in fields related to the agricultural/economic sciences or to have provided innovative, theory-based, systematic, and practical solutions to the agricultural/economic concerns of specific industries. Graduates will demonstrate an in-depth understanding of theories and concepts necessary to advance learning and/or professional practice as well as to practice research skills providing a critical perspective of the real-world complex issues related to the intractable problem of food security in the following specific fields: Agricultural Economics; Agronomy; Animal Science; Environmental Economics; or, Horticulture.

Whether evaluated for the minimum three-year duration or the regular four-year program, students will spend one year in mobility to benefit from the advantages of exposure to a variety of cultures and worldviews, experience with diverse facilities and resources, and veritable international recognition of their education, which are all expected to boost research quality and global visibility.

Although a limited number of fields of interest have been offered for the pioneer batch of Dual PhD by Research students, future program configurations are expected to encompass more specializations dealing with ensuring security and responsible management of resources and the environment.

*Structure and other details are subject to the final approval of the program.
