Founded as a Federally Chartered University in July 2000, the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences is a premiere University of Pakistan, renowned for the quality and impact of its students in the development of local software and other industries. The university has five modern campuses at Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, and Chiniot-Faisalabad. These campuses provide world-class educational environments and recreational facilities to about 9,000 students, around one-quarter are female.
Research wings of the university are well recognized, nationally and internationally. They are embarked upon cutting-edge research having a direct impact on the social, economic, and technological needs of Pakistan. Our vision is to become a globally recognized research university in Pakistan within the next decade.
In line with the thrust of our faith and the glory of our heritage, we shall try our best to play an effective and meaningful role in creating a knowledge-based society in Pakistan. This avenue would naturally and seamlessly lead to a civil society with a knowledge-driven economy.
In furtherance of these general objectives, we shall focus upon the acquisition and propagation of cutting-edge science and technologies. Recognizing the fact that Information Technology is having a profound impact upon almost every aspect of human activity and changing the shape of our future. We shall retain our focus, for the time being, on producing graduates in Computer Science, Engineering, Business Management, and Basic Sciences as well as managers of the highest order who may act as the vanguard of the IT Revolution in Pakistan.
We believe that the enormous educational potential of computer science if used wisely, widely, and vigorously, can be a powerful vehicle of social equalization.
In line with its philosophy, the satisfaction of the financial needs of the poor, and opening doors of opportunities of highly expensive education to the indigent and disempowered, are the greatest moral achievements of the Foundation.
In pursuit of these noble objectives, the University shall faithfully, vigorously, and dedicatedly follow that policy to fulfill the requirements of equality of opportunity and social justice.
Realizing that the success of the IT revolution requires concerted efforts of many, not a few, we shall establish a formal network of a cooperative and collaborative relationship with centers of excellence within and outside Pakistan. The quality of human beings shall remain the center of our focus. It shall be our constant endeavor to produce, not only excellent scientists and good technicians but also well-balanced human beings with a strong sense of values.
The National University of Computer & Emerging Sciences has the honor of being the first multi-campus private sector university set up under the Federal Charter granted by Ordinance No.XXIII of 2000, dated July 01, 2000.
The University started with an impressive advantage in that, thanks to the selfless, ceaseless, and imaginative efforts of the Foundation FAST, it inherited four first-rate computer science institutes located at Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Peshawar, in spacious buildings and prestigious settings. These institutes, individually as well as collectively, have established leadership positions due to the splendid vision of enlightened management and tireless efforts of a highly qualified faculty. Over the years FAST has become the hallmark of excellence in the academic arena, domestic market, and international community.
