The Virtual University, Pakistan’s first University based completely on
modern Information and Communication Technologies, was established by the Government
as a public sector, not-for-profit institution with a clear mission: to provide
extremely affordable world class education to aspiring students all over the country.
Using free-to-air satellite television broadcasts and the Internet, the Virtual
University allows students to follow its rigorous programs regardless of their
physical locations. It thus aims at alleviating the lack of capacity in the existing
universities while simultaneously tackling the acute shortage of qualified professors
in the country. By identifying the top Professors of the country, regardless of
their institutional affiliations, and requesting them to develop and deliver hand-crafted
courses, the Virtual University aims at providing the very best courses to not
only its own students but also to students of all other universities in the country.
The Virtual University of Pakistan holds a Federal Charter, making its degrees
recognized and accepted all over the country as well as overseas.
The University opened its virtual doors in 2002 and in a short span of time its
outreach has reached over sixty cities of the country with more than a hundred
associated institutions providing infrastructure support to the students. Pakistani
students residing overseas in several other countries of the region are also enrolled
in the University's programs.
