National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST)
About Us
The National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST) was established in March 1991 for the promotion of higher education in the country, especially in the fields of science and technology, by providing a stable and disciplined academic environment together with need-based research pertinent to industrial requirements. The university was granted its Charter in 1993. Over the years, it has expanded in scope, services and stature, and has emerged as a leading comprehensive university in the public sector.
Within three decades of its inception, NUST has achieved important milestones and gained immense significance as an institution of higher education in Pakistan. It produces professionals and researchers of high calibre, capable of developing indigenous technologies to meet the growing demands of the 21st century. It is envisioned to grow as a centre of excellence for the country’s scientific and technological progress. An outstanding feature of the university is that while maintaining traditional values of excellence in teaching and research, it challenges conventional practices and creates new ways of developing and delivering courses, pertaining to emerging and cutting-edge disciplines on most modern lines.
