San Beda University (Filipino: Pamantasang San Beda, Spanish: Universidad de San Beda) is a private Roman Catholic basic and higher education institution run by the Benedictine monks of the Order of Saint Benedict in Mendiola Street, San Miguel, Manila, the Philippines. Its main campus which provides tertiary education is situated in Mendiola, Manila. It has a satellite campus that provides elementary and high school education in Taytay, Rizal. The Benedictine College in Alabang, Muntinlupa known as the San Beda College Alabang is an autonomous institution despite being an affiliate of San Beda University.
San Beda was established in 1901 by monks of the Ordo Sancti Benedicti (OSB) or Order of St. Benedict, also known as the Benedictines. Its founder, St. Benedict, is acclaimed as the "Father of Western Monasticism" and the "Patron of Europe". From its inception, the school was dedicated to the cause of Catholic education and the formation of Christians committed to excellence and service of God and country. It is attached to the Abbey of Our Lady of Montserrat, founded from the Abbey of Montserrat in Cataluña, Spain.
San Beda started as an all-boys grade school in Manila and given the name El Colegio de San Beda. It has since expanded to a full university with both undergraduate and post-graduate degree programs. The institution was given university status on February 6, 2018, making it the only Benedictine university found in the Asia-Pacific region.

Before the beginning of the 1960s, Bedans were singing a different school hymn. In 1966, Senator Raul Roco, then a San Beda law student, wrote a new alma mater hymn which would capture the Bedan spirit. Mrs. Sonia Roco, wife of the late senator, said that her husband wrote the lyrics of the Bedan Hymn on their honeymoon. After finishing the lyrics, Roco then gave the lyrics to Rev. Fr. Benildus Ma. Maramba, OSB for its melody. It took Fr. Maramba, two days to finish the song composition.
It is sung at important events such as the NCAA basketball season, the Bar exams, and alumni gatherings but also at simple affairs such as seminars and small get-together of Bedans.
