Karachi University

At the time of creation of Pakistan as a sovereign state in 1947, means for higher education and research were negligible. Responding to the impending requirement of higher learning, Pakistan started establishing relevant educational institutions of higher learning and research and thus underwent rapid modernization.

The Karachi University today is the biggest university in the country. It comprises eight faculties with which all the colleges of the city are affiliated. B.S., M.S., M.Phil. and Ph.D. classes under five of these faculties Arts, Science, Pharmacy, Management and Administrative Science and Islamic Learning are conducted on the campus, while under the Faculties of Medicine, law and Education it examines the students admitted to their affiliated colleges. Research programmers leading to M.Phil and Ph.D Degree are offered under all the faculties.

The centre was established on the recommendations of the University of Karachi Syndicate’s meeting held in 1987.  The main objective of the center is to motivate, mobilize and facilitate the teachers of the Faculty of Arts to take interest in research and pursue their work to upgrade and equip themselves with the latest developments in their respective fields.
