Beaconhouse National University (BNU) is a
chartered, non profit, multi disciplinary, equal opportunity
institution which is open to all persons irrespective
of religion, creed or domicile, who are academically
qualified for admission to courses of study offered
by the University.
Our initiative, begun in 2003, takes place in a city
which sits at the very heart of Pakistan. With its
unique centuries old architecture and history, Lahore
is the ideal setting for the establishment of a University
offering unprecedented choices with the flexibility
of earning degrees with a single or shared major while
introducing students to a vibrant research and project
based culture.
Beaconhouse National University (BNU) is the first
true liberal arts university offering students a unique
opportunity to explore the process of education at
the graduate and undergraduate level in fields as
diverse as Architecture and Design, Fine Arts, Education,
TV, Theatre and Film Studies, Electronic and Print
Media, Economics, Applied Psychology, Information
Technology and Literature at its state of the art
permanent facilities rapidly nearing completion and
partly to be functional by September 2006.
While the transition from high school to university
appears daunting, BNU at its City Campus actively
encourages inter-disciplinary learning at its seven
Schools where a diverse, committed faculty leads students
through radically new approaches to education and
life long learning. Here, students and faculty are
challenged to develop exciting goals that further
personal and societal progress in a range of subjects
and practices rarely offered anywhere in Pakistan.
BNU’s highly qualified national and international
faculty replicates international levels of scholarship
at a fraction of the cost. Cognizant of the fact that
a new generation of instructional tools and delivery
modes made possible through computer, TV, cable, satellite,
laser, fiber-optic and micro-chip technologies have
broadened access to higher quality education without
regard to time, distance or geopolitical boundaries,
BNU offers a learner- centered approach with a focus
on collaboration, team work and problem solving skills.
In an ongoing search for potential, relevance and
training, BNU is constantly upgrading its curriculum
and course materials. The academic programs for the
coming year will offer several new courses which are
designed to equip students with the skills required
to become truly educated, productive citizens and
dignified, well informed, successful members of an
increasingly competitive global community.
Education has never been so challenging, it has never
opened up so many career choices.
