For Graduate Students
UP graduate students can avail different services and apply for grants that can support their studies and research during their stay at the University.
Research Opportunities
Students are encouraged to engage in collaborative research projects conducted by faculty and other graduate students of the Department. You can visit the Job Opportunities page to see if there are student or research assistant positions available, or consult with a faculty member on research that you wish to undertake.
Students are also encouraged to submit their papers for presentation at the Linguistics Research Colloquium or at the Philippine Linguistics Congress. Visit the Conferences page to find out various platforms for research dissemination that are available. You are also highly encouraged to submit your manuscripts to The Archive, the Department’s official peer-reviewed academic journal, for publication.
