Deadlines and intakes
Universities set their own academic calendars and admission deadlines, and they differ between institutions. Check the calendar of your chosen school before planning travel.
Build in time for the visa file. The medical tests, chest x-ray and police clearance each take time to obtain, and the medical certificate must be notarised. Apply for the visa as soon as you have your Notice of Acceptance, and allow for several weeks of consular processing.
Language you need
English is the main language of teaching in Philippine universities, and in government, business and the courts. Universities set their own English entry requirements; check the programme page for any IELTS or TOEFL score.
Filipino and regional languages dominate daily life outside formal settings, but you can manage day to day in English in most cities, which is one reason the country is popular for English-language study.
Free for students
Tell us what you want to study. Your request goes to the admissions team or to an adviser who works with them will contact you by email to help with your application. It costs you nothing.
Student reviews: none yet for Unida Christian Colleges. If you study or studied here, yours would be the first.
Every reviewer confirms their email address with a one-time link, and a person at Studies Multiverse reads each review before it appears. We publish good and bad reviews on the same terms, never edit them, never pay for them, and an institution cannot remove a review by paying us. Reviews sent from the institution’s own email domain are not accepted. Institutions can reply below a review. See our terms.
Get in touch
Studies Multiverse passes your question to the admissions office by email, and they reply to you directly. We do not sell your details to anyone.
For staff of Unida Christian Colleges
Staff can manage this page at no cost: correct the details, add your logo and a description, see how many students look at it, add photographs and courses, and answer the questions they send. All of it is free.
Students: this is not an application. To apply or ask about courses, contact the institution directly.
