President’s Message
Welcome to Cebu’s youngest university whose vision for excellence
has been indelibly carved into its graduates who have made thier
marks not just in the local arena but in the global map as well. As
a non-elitist institution that welcome students from all walks of life,
social background, race, creed, and culture, the University of Cebu
boasts of a quality education that caters to the need of its students.
Equipping them with the knowlege, skills, attitudes and values that
are essential in living a fulfilling and meaningful life, the university Atty. Augusto W. Go
has indeed come a long way. With its opening in 1964, the univer- President
sity has graduated more than a hundred thousand students, all of University of Cebu
whom have carved their niches here and abroad.

Chancellor’s Message
Through time, UC has persevered to grow by leaps and bounds, in
numbers and standards. One simple reason for UC’s steady growth
is the school’s unfailing vision to become a leading university in
the Asia-Pacific region. While this vision may be met with raised
eyebrows, let it be known that many skeptics have already been
convinced by the school’s version of success-themed stories.

In consonance to this aspiration, UC continues to focus on its re-

sources, both human and technical, towards achieving success in Ms. Candice Gotianuy
Chancellor
various fields. Success, within the context of UC experience, is the
University of Cebu
school’s clearcut response to the demands of time. With its func-
tional and ground-breaking curricula and “well-oiled” machineries,
UC thus creates a learning environment equal to the necessities of
the 21st century.

UC’s continuing efforts towards making itself the finest is predicated

on the now popular byword of the academe: I CARE. In capsule,
this acronym speaks about the core values of Innovation, which is
geared towards technological advancement; Camaraderie, which
is founded on the spirit of mutual trust, harmony and understand-
ing; Alignment, which places UC in correct positioning in relation
to others, be it within or outside; Respect, which puts a premium on
the practice of professionalism; and Excellence, which is the excep-
tional quality that makes UC distinct right from the very start.

Having this as its general picture, UC invites you then to take part in
its continuing journey towards its envisioned direction.
Cebu City | Philippines

The City of Cebu, known as the Queen City of the South and the
home of Sto. Niño is the most dynamic and prosperous city in the
Philippines. It is the second major city after Metro Manila, and stra-
tegically located at the center of the Philippine archipelago.

Cebu City is a tourist destination which has the most number of

educational, recreational, historical, entertainment and business
centers teeming with life all year round.

Cebu City is a gateway to opportunities in the central and southern

part of the country and is easily accessible through direct flights
from various international locations and destinations. Cebu’s war-
ranted economic growth fortifies itself as the preferred home to
most Shipping industries and as an I.T. and Call Center hub not
only in Asia, but, worldwide.

Cebu is an educational center with most number of colleges and

universities closely partnering with various national and interna-
tional industries, allowing students to be trained, exposed and do
immersion programs in the field of commerce, modern technology,
shipping, medicine, hotel and tourism. An increasing number of
foreign students are coming to Cebu to study, a proof that studying
in Cebu is very well complimented with the varying and dynamic
lifestyle the city can offer.

Study in Cebu, therefore, and in particular at the University of Cebu,

will certainly be one of the most memorable experiences in life one
will ever have as it paves the way for a prosperous and secured life
ahead.

■ English Communication Skills

The English Communication Skills Pro-

gram is a course designed to upgrade
an individual~s ability to communicate in
English. It is divided into 4 levels:

Level 1: Basic Communication Skills

The students are introduced to the English
language. Emphasis is given on vo-
cabulary- building and the use of terms~
phrases, and expressions needed in
actual speech situations.

Level 2: Oral Skills

Stress is given on the proper pronuncia-
tion, enunciation, and intonation. Through
the various speech situations like em-
ceein& advertisements, newscasts,
singin& and other speech acts, the stu-
dents hone their oral communication skills
specifically their ability to speak before an
audience.

Level 3: Reading and Writing

Students are exposed to the basic forms
of writing through sample materials that
they are obliged to read. Namltion, de-
scription, cause and effect, interpersonal
and interoffice communication are just
some of the forms of writing students will
have to learn. If there is a need, creative
writing and interpretative reading will also
be introduced, that is if the students have
already reached the requisite level.

Level 4: Passing the Interview, Tele-

phony,
Customer Care, etc.
This particular level is designed to prepare
the students for job screening. It includes
the development of such skills as tele-
phony, customer care, and other compe-
tencies that would equip students with the
employability skills needed for them to be
hired.
