Starting my Masteral Journey – PUP Open University

My twin sister is a graduate of Master of Management Technology in De la Salle. Ever since she graduated, she always pushing me to get also a master degree. She said that it will help me in my professional career and also it will gain me new friends. But as much as I want to pursue one, I don’t want to sacrifice my work obligations and my time with my son.

I have Monday to Friday with alternate Saturdays work in a construction company. Weekends is for my son – family time. Every night is skype time with my husband who’s working abroad. So tell me, where to squeeze the masteral?

I’m so grateful I didn’t stop browsing online possible school or short courses I can take. I happened to open Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) Open University website. From there, I learned that they offer educational services with alternative approach to cater the needs of working individuals like me who needs to juggle work and study at the same time. I am surprised that this Open University existed long time ago since 1990.

Here’s the link of PUP Open University for more details - https://www.pup.edu.ph/ous/

And there I found Master of Science in Construction Management. A tailor-made course just right for me! I immediately inquire thru email confirming the class schedule which is very important for me.  It took 10 days before I got a positive response from them. Not bad at all. I thought they will not reply on my email. They confirmed that there will be only once a month class meeting and the rest will be online sessions.




So I decided to take a chance to take their entrance exam last May 26 and luckily the result says I am qualified for the graduate course. Now, I am completing the requirements needed for enrollment. =)
