FEU Diliman is the home of the FEU Diliman Baby Tamaraws, the high school varsity team of FEU for the Juniors Division of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP).[5][6] The institution offers baccalaureate degree courses and started offering elementary and secondary education in the 2000s.

Like its sister schools, FEU Tech and FEU Alabang, the college runs on a trimester academic system. An academic year starts in the second week of August and ends every June.

History

In March 2018, the school's operations management was turned over to East Asia Computer Center, Inc. (EACCI), the corporation managing FEU Institute of Technology (FEU Tech). Prior to this, FERN College had been operated by the Nicanor Reyes Education Foundation (NREF).[7]

The shift is particularly advantageous for the school's move to espouse the Business-IT Fusion concept.[7]

Campus

FEU Diliman has the biggest campus among the FEU schools, having 10 hectares (100,000 m2) of land.[10] It is the ideal location for upholding FEU's athletic excellence.

In 2017, a groundbreaking ceremony took place for a new Basic Education Department Building.[11] Led by FEU chairman Aurelio Montinola III, the event was attended by members of the school’s board of trustees, administrators, faculty members, and students. The added structure is a symbol of the school's renewed commitment to address the demands and challenges of 21st century learning. [11]

FEU Diliman Football Field

Situated within the campus is the FEU Diliman Football Field, the Home of the Tamaraw Football Champions. The World Cup-sized artificial turf football field is a primary venue for hosting UAAP Football competitions and Palarong Pambansa.[12]

FEU Diliman Sports Center

Seeking to develop more homegrown talents, a sports complex was built with the goal of becoming one of the premier college sports programs in the country.

Adding onto the artificial football pitch is the FEU Diliman Sports Center, a 3-storey building housing a maple-wood basketball court, the same flooring used in FIBA World Cup courts in Spain.[12] Officially inaugurated in 2014,[13] the sports center was built to be the home of the FEU varsity teams. It houses the administrative and support services for varsity sports including the Athletics Office, the Team Conference Room, Athletes’ Dorm, Shower and Locker Rooms, Therapy Room, Team Tambayan and a Trophy Room.[14][15]
