National University (NU) has officially opened its newest campus in the heart of Metro Cebu, marking a historic milestone as the institution celebrates its 125th founding anniversary.
Located at the North Wing of SM City Cebu, NU Cebu spans more than 25,000 square meters across six levels and can house up to 14,000 students.
This is NU’s 13th campus nationwide and its first in Central Visayas, aiming to bring affordable, accessible, and quality education closer to Cebuanos.
The new campus offers a Senior High School program and undergraduate degrees in Accountancy, Architecture, Computer Science, Tourism Management, Psychology, and Medical Technology.
NU Cebu Executive Director Johanna Minglana said course offerings were carefully selected based on an extensive survey of what Cebuano students are most interested in, as well as the current demand from industries.
“We aim to provide quality education that’s relevant to the times,” Minglana shared. “Our teachers are highly skilled and fully qualified based on CHED standards, and we’re committed to expanding our programs in the next few years to meet the evolving needs of our students.”
As the home of the CebuaNU Bulldogs, the university offers a safe and inclusive learning environment where academic excellence, discipline, and purpose come together. All faculty and staff are locally hired, reflecting NU’s commitment to uplifting the local community.
Backed by the SM Group, NU Cebu also integrates the SM model for customer service, ensuring students receive holistic support as they pursue their academic and personal goals.
With a strong legacy that began in 1900, NU Cebu continues National University’s mission to develop future-ready graduates—individuals equipped with the right skills, values, and mindset to succeed in today’s fast-changing world.
NU Cebu isn’t just preparing students for jobs—it’s preparing them for life.
