CHANCELLOR
As Chancellor of University of Wah, it is an honour to be part of an educational
institution that firmly believes in equipping determined learners to be future
leaders. I have seen University of Wah grow to its current status as a premier
institution imparting education in academic disciplines ranging from
Engineering / Sciences to Humanities, with an aim to achieve competence
through excellence. University of Wah upholds and celebrates remarkable
reputation in the region. I believe that focused approach, perseverance and
courage to be innovative has led the University to this position.

It is heartening to note the University of Wah is determined to impart education

in its true sense. It promises to deliver highly disciplined and cultured graduates
to the society. It strives towards bringing a positive shift in the society coupled
with the changes that innovation brings. In a world where change is the norm,
knowledge will be a certain key resource. The challenges are to facilitate
intellectual power which will create new jobs, and to educate and train students
to work in fields where they will be valued both for their specialized knowledge
Malik Muhammad Rafique Rajwana and for their ability to research, communicate and solve problems.

I hope University of Wah will continue growing in the future and will persist to
raise the bar for quality education.

CHAIRMAN BOARD OF GOVERNORS

University life, undoubtedly, leaves indelible mark not only on the professional
abilities of students but also on their wholesome personality development. It is,
therefore, fundamentally important that you choose the “right” university for
your higher academic pursuits. Educational distinction is only one of the many
success factors in life today. Educating future leaders, building healthy
communities and developing a complete personality imbued with
professionalism, team work and high moral fiber have surpassed the need for
educational performance alone. University of Wah aims to achieve exact
meaning of education i.e. knowledge and grooming.

The University management is committed to excellence in all aspects regarding

curricular and extra-curricular activities. The curricula that University offers is
aimed at providing for the rapidly changing environment of business, social and
technological sciences. We continuously strive for the betterment of our
students' experience, through up-gradation of our academic programs and
advancements in the infrastructure. We take pride in being a diverse Institution.
Key to our success is adding practicality in our approach to education. This has Lt Gen Umar Farooq Durrani HI(M)
helped in shaping our programs and producing graduates who are highly
accomplished, skilled and employable.

Most importantly, we place students at the center stage of our policies to create
enjoyable and rewarding environment during the University life. We are sure
you will have a good stay at University of Wah.

VICE CHANCELLOR
As part of the global knowledge society and focus on providing world class
quality education, the University of Wah is entering its second decade with
satisfaction and glory. We take pride in our dynamic faculty, innovative
pedagogical practices, state of the art infrastructure and multi-disciplinary
academic programs at under-graduate and graduate level. Launch of PhD in five
disciplines and another six MS programs this academic year further strengthens
our broad academic base.

The University has well equipped class rooms, international standard

laboratories, elaborate computer facilities and second to none boarding
facilities in the list of its developing infrastructure. Elaborate international
standard sports facilities, gatherings and interactive consulting / discussion
places reflect the University's emphasis on student's wholesome personality
development. In recent years, the faculty has been awarded a number of extra-
mural research grants by various funding agencies. Our faculty has an
impressive record of research publication to its credit and regularly organizes
Prof Khaliq ur Rehman Shad SI(M) seminars, workshops, lectures and conferences showcasing the recent advances
in their respective disciplines. Further, the University regularly invites eminent
scholars and scientists for interactive sessions with students and faculty to
exchange and share their respective experiences on current national and global
issues.

Committed to promote academic excellence and socially relevant education, the

University has made all out efforts to achieve national and global standards. In a
short span of its existence, the University has been progressively gravitating
towards transforming itself into a Centre of Excellence in the field of higher
education.

Focusing on single digit ranking and international recognition sooner rather

than later, I look forward your joining the University and experience the
“UW Difference”.
