The Rising University of the Future
Setting the transition towards becoming the university of the future is UNC’s pioneering academic innovations. To ensure continuity of learning while prioritizing safety, UNC offers Flexible Learning Solutions to suit the students’ learning needs and situations. Flexi Tech is for those with internet connectivity and uses a powerful online Learning Management System (LMS) or virtual classroom, while Flexi Kit is for those with zero internet connectivity and uses printed modules delivered to students. With these options, students can still experience UNC’s nurturing education through flexible remote learning deliveries, right at the comfort of their homes. Gradually propelling UNC toward being an online university is our IT facilities that have improved by leaps and bounds. Impressive educational advancement rapidly transforms the UNCean learning experiences in the new - and the next normal.
Setting Up Students for Employment
Among the most powerful aspirations of the University of Nueva Caceres is to produce future-ready graduates. We are committed to cultivating these UNCean graduate attributes: EXcellent communicator, Creative leader, Ethical citizen, and Lifelong learner. UNCeans ExCEL! Since multi-qualification career credentials are supremely relevant in today’s competitive market, the core academic programs are being re-engineered through the UNC Multi-QUAlification Program (MQUAP). Through this, the employment success of our graduates is highly enhanced.
