Suggested Research Policy

Quezon City Polytechnic University as a learning institution fully supports and encourages students as well as faculty members and employees to conduct researches.

It is envisioned that in the near future, instead of researches being financed by the university – researches will be financed and commissioned by outside sources through research grants.

Research topics will be applied for and evaluated by the office of the Director for Research.

Since QCPU is just starting its research initiatives, each academic department head/unit head is mandated to produce at least two researches (one authored by the department head/unit head and another one by its faculty/employee). Specifically, the departments of BSIT, BSEM, BSIE, Gen. Ed and Tech. Voc. should comply with this research requirement. An amount of 15, 000, php per approved research should be allocated.

It is the vision of the Research Office to produce at least one institutional research journal every year and to have researches produced in a school year published and delivered in local and international conferences.

Once, the community of the university embraces the research culture, and once the university becomes adept in producing quality research, research will no longer be a financial drain to the university but rather an income generating arm that will finance itself and contribute to the financial well-being of the university.
