Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM), or the University of the City of Manila, is a university in the city of Manila, Philippines. It is funded by the government of the city[1][2][3][4] and it does not have any tuition fees.[3][4] It is in the district of Intramuros in Manila, the Philippines. It was established on June 19, 1965 and opened on July 17, 1967 to 556 scholars, all coming from the top 10% of graduates of Manila's public high schools.[3][4][5][6]

PLM holds the distinction of being the first institution of higher learning in the country and perhaps in Asia to offer tuition-free tertiary education; the first university funded solely by a city government; and the first institution of higher learning in the country to have its official name in Filipino.[3][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Total enrolment has grown to an average of 11,000 a year.[7] The lone college has grown to 12 colleges, five graduate, two professional schools, and a score of research and specialized centers, including a teaching hospital, an enterpreneurial center, and an integrated learning center for toddlers.[5][7] It maintains a comprehensive distance education and open university program for thousands of community health workers and public administrators in nationwide with affiliations and recognition from various national and international organizations and institutions.[4][7][8]

There are 53 single-degree baccalaureate programs and 49 masters, doctoral, and graduate diploma offerings that lead to degrees in accountancy, economics, architecture, business administration, computer studies, education, engineering, law, mass communication, mathematics, medicine, nursing, physical education, physical therapy, psychology, sciences, social work, tourism, management, and public governance.[7]

According to the Philippines' Commission on Higher Education, it is a model university for all public institutions across the country, one of the centers of excellence in the City of Manila, and the fifth among all universities nationwide based on the number of examinees passing the Professional Regulation Commission test.[1][3][7][9][14]
