In the future, knowledge-based- economies will be the cornerstone of success and qualified human resources will be highly sought-after within Pakistan and around the world. Our challenge is to produce such a potent human resource that will benefit society. We stand committed to educate and train students to work in fields where they are valued for their specialized knowledge and their ability to research, communicate and solve problems. This will help in ensuring the ongoing relevance of our academic programs and the continued excellence of our teaching, learning, and research. With that vision, UW has recently embarked upon additional academic undertakings at the doctoral and master levels in Biosciences, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Education. The start of MS programs in Civil, Chemical, Mechatronics Engineering, and Computer Sciences and two years MBA are also our recent initiatives. The University is also building alliances and collaborative research programs with national and international universities and research centers.
