WITH a rapidly growing economy and ever expanding frontiers of knowledge and technology, Pakistan stands at the point of economic take-off. Consequently, there is a very high demand for skilled and motivated human resource. In a message to Khaleej Times on the occasion of 60th anniversary of Pakistan, Muhammad Asghar, Director, said that National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) with its progressive and innovative outlook and a multi-disciplinary character is emerging as a centre of excellence for research and development.

It offers high quality and yet accessible higher education in almost all the disciplines of engineering, medical sciences, management sciences, information technology and social sciences at undergraduate and post-graduate levels. “We strive to emerge as the leading research intensive university not only in Pakistan, but also among the top universities of the world. The foundation of our academic excellence firmly rests on research-based education and intellectual freedom. Over the years, NUST has established very strong linkages with some of the leading universities of the world, e.g. Caltech and Stanford in the USA, CERN Geneva, COMTEC Japan and Commonwealth UK. Collaboration with renowned foreign universities is aimed at avoiding intellectual stagnation and ensuring two-way f l ow of knowledge.” “Our objectives are high and our approach is positive. With a carefully worked out road-map, a mission oriented approach and an excellent blend of high quality faculty and available resources, this university is well poised to play a significant role in the development of human resource capital in Pakistan. “Our doors are open to talented national and international students. We will welcome enterprising and research oriented scholars to join our faculty. We are also keen to engage research partners who have the potential and capabilities to help us attain our objectives. “I welcome you to a wonderful experience of quality education, innovative research, and satisfying experience at NUST,” he said.
