The Southwestern University, officially the Southwestern University PHINMA (SWU PHINMA), is a private university in Cebu City, Philippines.
Founded and opened in the summer of 1946 by two pharmacists, SWU originally started as Southwestern Colleges and achieved university status on December 11, 1959.[1] The university and its base hospital were acquired by PHINMA Education, a subsidiary of PHINMA Corporation in 2015.[2] The university was renamed to Southwestern University PHINMA and the hospital from Sacred Heart Hospital to Southwestern University Medical Center. The university changed the logo and closed its South Campus in Basak San Nicolas, Cebu City.
It has a large number of international students from different countries. It is widely recognized as the most diverse institution in Cebu due to the various nationality of students that came from 34 countries in five continents.
