The University of Makati (Filipino: Unibersidad ng Makati or Pamantasan ng Makati), popularly known as UMak is a public, locally funded city-flagship university in Makati City, National Capital Region, Philippines.
The educational institution is the first university in the Philippines which piloted the Senior High School Modelling Program of the Department of Education in 2012.
UMak is the country's first ISO certified local university, certified in 4 processes such as Admission, Registration, Releasing of Grades and Issuance of Transcript of Records.
The University of Makati was established as the Makati Polytechnic Community College in 1972 through Municipal Resolution No. 242 Ordinance No. 64. Its status was elevated in 1987 to that of a full-pledged college, and was then renamed Makati College. It was merged with the former Fort Andres Bonifacio College which led to the elevation of the college to a university on January 10, 1990.
By virtue of Municipal Ordinance No. 433, the Pamantasan ng Makati became a chartered university on December 19, 1991 under the administration of Jejomar Binay. On August 27, 2002, City Ordinance 2002-111 was approved amending City Ordinance No. 99-126 revising the Pamantasan ng Makati Charter to change the official name of Pamantasan ng Makati to University of Makati.
The University is located in J.P. Rizal Extension, West Rembo, Makati that stands on a lot along near Fort Bonifacio and facing the Makati Park and Garden and Pasig River. The university consists of the Academic Building 1,2 & 3, Administrative Building, a new-established 12-storey Health and Physical Science Building (HPSB) and the University of Makati Stadium which served as one of the venues of the United Football League and Clear Football: Dream Match.
The UMak-Medical Informatics Development (MIND) Center program is the first and only industry-academe partnership program in the country for health informatics advocacy, training, implementation and research and development. The UMak-MInD Center is in collaboration with E-Health Records International. The Dual Training System (DTS) of the College of Technology Management offers a 3 year multi skilled program for Industrial Facilities Technology (IFT) since 2002. The DTS strategy was eventually adapted for the 4 years bachelor courses in Building Technology Management and Bachelor in Electrical Technology, which were developed in partnership with the Philippine Building Administrators' Association (PABA).
