University of the Philippines - UPLB Speciality : Law
programme: Human Development and Family Studies

Human Ecology has been taught to be interdisciplinary and holistic because of its involvement in various fields of study such as history, anthropology, psychology, biology, sociology, and many more. Given that UPLB is the first in Asia to introduce it to rhe Philippines, it has three specializations: Human Settlements Planning, Social Technology, and Human and Family Development. Also food and nutrition courses are studies to understand how the said aspect affects the environment. The field work in Human Ecology is crucial for assessing the community’s needs and for immersing one’s self with the people in that particular area. I just hope that the courses would be more contextualized in the Philippine setting, especially with its involvement with the SDGs.
