Trinity University of Asia

What Trinity University of Asia does

Trinity University of Asia is a private Christian university founded in 1963 and headquartered in Quezon City, Philippines. It delivers undergraduate and graduate education across multiple disciplines with a particular emphasis on nursing, and operates with a stated employee headcount of 251-500. The institution serves primarily higher-education students seeking degree programs and, more recently, workforce-aligned credentials, including international cohorts facilitated through Anglican and faith-based institutional partnerships with churches and educational bodies in Korea, Ghana, and the Philippines.

The university's core technology stack centers on the Canvas LMS by Instructure, deployed under a three-year partnership with C&E Adaptive Learning Solutions (C&E ALS) signed on November 19, 2025. The Canvas ecosystem at TUA is extended with Canvas Studio, Canvas Catalog, the Redmenta AI Tool for assessment, and Accredify for digital credential verification. The technology backbone supports both on-campus instruction and online or hybrid delivery, as evidenced by the university's ability to shift classes online during transport strikes. In parallel, TUA is co-developing industry-aligned microcredential short courses with C&E ALS to broaden its product surface and target employability outcomes.

Trinity University of Asia generates revenue primarily through tuition and educational services for degree programs, with microcredential programs acting as an emerging secondary recurring stream. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is administered through the admissions office. The go-to-market motion is traditional for the sector: student acquisition via enrollment channels, recruitment fairs, and academic partnerships, including international faculty exchanges. Distribution is dual-channel, combining direct on-campus instruction with self-serve online learning enabled by Canvas LMS, and the university currently serves a single domestic market (Philippines) with selective international collaborations.
