Goals, Philosophy, Core Values and The Marks of a True UMak Heron Graduate

Vision

We envision the University of Makati as the primary instrument where University education and industry training programs interface to mold Makati youths into productive citizens and IT–enabled professionals who are exposed to the cutting edge of technology in their areas of specialization. The University shall be the final stage of Makati City’s integrated primary level to university educational system that allows its less-privileged citizens to compete for high-paying job opportunities in its business and industries.

Mission

To achieve our vision, University of Makati shall mold highly competent professionals and skilled workers from the children of poor Makati residents while inculcating in them good moral values and desirable personality development by offering baccalaureate degree, graduate degree, and non-degree programs with parallel on-campus social, cultural, sports and other co-curricular activities.

Goals

Inspired by a deep sense of commitment and avowed mission, the University shall aim to realize the following:

To be the Center of Excellence for “best-in-country” programs in several key fields of specialization;
To enhance faculty development and continuing professional education of graduates in the pursuit of life-long academic and professional excellence;
To produce relevant research and extension services for the socio-economic growth of progressive communities in Makati and the country at large;
To become the preferred supplier of market and industry-specific professionals and skilled employees for Makati-based industries; and
To help ensure 100% employability of all graduates.

Philosophy

The University of Makati is the University of the City of Makati. We serve the children of less privileged citizens of the City so they can actively participate in and competitively partake of the City’s economic progress. We must never forget who we are, whom we are for, and what we have to do for those for whom we are.
