Dear Student,

Welcome to Allama Iqbal Open University, the first distance education university in South
Asia that provides cost effective education to 1.3 million students not only in Pakistan but
also in Middle East. This university has the unique privilege of blurring temporal and spatial
boundaries by providing education at the thresholds of the students. The university offers a
diverse range of educational facilities, starting from basic literacy programs to the PhD
level. The courses are regularly revised to bring them at par with international standards.
The university offers maximum number of specializations at postgraduate level through four
faculties, i.e. Faculty of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Faculty of Education, Faculty of
Sciences, and Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities. The university has a huge network
of faculty members, tutors, resource persons, specialists and experts who strive hard to ensure that the programs offered
by the university enable the students to become independent learners and critical thinkers. The university takes special
measures to establish and strengthen research culture and prepare those individuals who can play an instrumental role
in the process of progress and development of the country.

I welcome you to the postgraduate studies at AIOU and wish you a challenging yet successful journey ahead.
