Thank you for choosing the Bahauddin Zakariya University for your academic pursuits. It is one of the nation's leading public research universities. The University is widely known as an institution of strong performance and high ambition as it has continued to make excellent progress towards its goals. It plays a significant role in developing indigenous human resources through its highly productive achievements both in sciences and humanities as it has a variety of disciplines. The University is organized into various departments and colleges that offer a wide range of programs: M.A., M.Sc., MBA, Ph.D., B.Sc. Engineering and Diplomas etc. Additionally, undergraduate courses and short-term courses are also offered. The University provides excellent facilities for its students. The students have access to highly qualified faculty, modern labs, and air-conditioned libraries. The students and faculty of this University also have access to the HEC's (Higher Education Commission) sponsored digital library. Through this digital library, students and faculty update their knowledge with the latest developments in their respective fields of study. This is an excellent facility available to our students and faculty as the digital library contains all the leading international research journals. In addition to it, the University, as a matter of policy, keeps reviewing its syllabuses. This is done to update our students with the contemporary issues related to their respective areas of studies. We believe in quality education, and it provides us very motivating feedback: our graduates, while competing for jobs, have outperformed students from some of Pakistan's most famous universities. Moreover, many of our graduates have been recipients of prestigious national and international awards/fellowships. Through different phases, the University has made tremendous progress, but the University's brightest days still lie ahead. Very recently, we have taken ambitious steps to uplift this University further. One such step is to streamline the semester schedule. Another is the enrichment of laborites and libraries. To provide accommodation to the maximum number of students, the University has planned to build new hostels. Moreover, the departments that have been established in the recent past will be provided with proper buildings. The University's convocation hall will be ready for use very soon. International Conferences and Seminars will be held regularly. And, most important, we are going to link with universities of three other countries. The United States, Venezuela, and Nepal. Through this innovative partnership program, students of these three universities will be taught through videoconferencing. This attempts to create an atmosphere of mutual understanding among different cultures and countries to make this world healthier, safer, and more tolerant. The University is located at a distance of 10 km from the city center. The main campus is spread over 960 acres of land. The University has a fleet of 28 buses and three coaches, which provides transport facilities to students and staff. The University started functioning in 1975 in rented buildings with eight departments. Presently, it has more than 51 departments/institutes/colleges. Out of its 619 faculty members, 389 hold doctoral degrees, and among its around 26659 students, half are female.
