UAP partners with UST

United Architects of the Philippines, Inc. (UAP) has inked a memorandum of agreement with the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Center for Continuing Professional Education and Development (CCPED) on October 21, 2010 for the conduct of the 1st UST-UAP Certified Heritage Building Conservation Specialist Course (CHBCSC), a program that will provide continuing education for professional architects. The CHBCSC will open at the UST Campus in Espana, Manila in January 2011.

The partnership is also in time for UST’s Quadricentennial Celebration in 2011. The CHBCSC is credited as three units of electives under the UST Graduate School.
