PHILIPPINE STUDIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAMBURG
Established as a cornerstone of the Austronesian Studies department, the Philippine Studies Program is the first of its kind in Germany to be integrated into a formal university curriculum.
The program serves as a primary European hub for the study of Filipino language, history, and social dynamics. It is uniquely structured to explore the Philippines not in isolation, but within the broader "Austronesian" context, highlighting the shared linguistic and cultural threads that connect the archipelago to Indonesia, Malaysia, and the wider Pacific world.
On 26 November 2022, the lecture on the "Philippines in the Austronesian Studies Program" marks the launch of the PSP in the university. The program also offers classes in Filipino / Tagalog language each semester, allowing students to take this as a second language credited for their Bachelor's Degree program.
