The 1901 Act No. 74 of the United States Philippines Commission established the Manila Trade School (MTS) near Ateneo de Manila in Intramuros. In 1910, the Manila Trade School was renamed as the Philippine School of Arts and Trades (PSAT), and again in 1959 as the Philippine College of Arts and Trade (PCAT). From 1959 to 1978, PCAT pioneered programs in engineering technology and industrial teacher education. On July 11, 1978, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 1518, the Philippine College of Arts and Trades was converted into the Technological University of the Philippines.[5]

In 1999 TUP was designated a Center of Excellence in the AIMEICC Working Group on Human Resource Development as certified by the Department of Trade and Industry. In the same year, the University was awarded as a Center of Development (COD) by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in Electrical Engineering (Category 2), Mechanical Engineering (Category 1), and Civil Engineering (Category 1). In 2002, the Colombo Plan Staff College for Technician Education (CSPC) presented a plaque of recognition to TUP as a Center of Excellence in Graduate Fellowship Programme for Technological, Technical, Industrial and Vocational Education.[6] The Association of Overseas Technical Scholarship (AOTS) based in Japan awarded TUP as a Center of Excellence.

TUP Taguig was established in 1977 as one of the three prototype technician institutes in the Philippines. On January 3, 1985, the BOR passed and adopted Resolution No. 100 s. 1985 changing the name of the Manila Technician Institute to TUP Taguig campus. TUP Taguig offers programs in the pre-baccalaureate, baccalaureate, and masters level.

TUP Cavite was established through Board Resolution No. 1985, s. 1979. The campus offers 3-year technology courses and baccalaureate and master's degree programs.

The intervention of the University in TUP Visayas campus started with the Letter of Instruction (LOI) No. 79 issued by President Ferdinand E. Marcos on December 28, 1978 authorizing TUP to administer the operation of the then Visayas Technician Institute. The campus offers 3-year technology courses, baccalaureate degree, and master's degree in Technology.

The Technological University of the Philippines in Lopez, Quezon held its first graduation rites in 2015.[10]
