UP Manila Tuition Fee: How This Estimate Is Calculated

UP Manila is the UP System's designated National Health Science Center, home to the College of Medicine, College of Nursing, College of Dentistry, College of Public Health, and College of Pharmacy, alongside the Philippine General Hospital (PGH). Its programs skew heavily toward health sciences and allied medical fields, a different academic mix than the general liberal arts and sciences focus at most other UP campuses.

UP Manila shares the same tuition structure as UP Diliman: free for most qualifying Filipino undergraduates under RA 10931, with a Socialized Tuition System for the paying minority. See the UP Diliman page for the full RA 10931 explanation — it applies system-wide, not just to Diliman.

Per-Unit Rate & Socialized Tuition Brackets

  • No discount: ₱1,500 per unit (full sticker rate).
  • 33% discount: ₱1,000 per unit.
  • 60% discount: ₱600 per unit.
  • 80% discount: ₱300 per unit.

These brackets are confirmed UP System-wide policy (reported identically for UP Diliman, UP Los Baños, and UP Manila), applied here to UP Manila on the assumption that this is a University-wide Board of Regents policy rather than something verified specifically for this campus. A flat ₱5,743.50 in miscellaneous fees — UP Diliman's own official breakdown — is used as a system-typical approximation, since UP Manila's own exact miscellaneous fee figure wasn't independently verified.

Sources & Methodology

Per-unit brackets are UP System-wide policy confirmed for other UP campuses; UP Manila's own official site (www.upm.edu.ph/admissions-tuition/) wasn't independently checked for a campus-specific rate table at research time. Figures were last checked 2026-07-31.
