Welcome to the UP Department of History!

Founded in 1910, we are one of the earliest academic units in the University of the Philippines. Through our General Education, undergraduate and graduate programs, the Department has shaped the discipline of history in the country for more than a century. In the years to come, we continue to provide innovative and relevant instructions to our students.

Our current roster of more than 30 regular and part-time faculty members are actively engaged in research and public fora, providing expertise in varied chronological and thematic fields of Philippine History. The Department also serves as an important space for the conduct of public seminars, trainings and conversations.
