Welcome to the UP Department of History!

Founded in 1910, we are one of the first academic units of the University of the Philippines. Through our General Education and Undergraduate and Graduate Programs, the Department has been shaping the discipline of history in the country for more than a century. In the years to come, we endeavor to continue providing innovative and relevant instruction 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 conducting of public seminars, trainings and conversations.
