About Air University Multan Campus
|
As a federally chartered, public sector university, AIR University can operate all
over Pakistan. Southern Punjab consists of four divisions, Multan, Sahiwal, Bahawalpur
and Dera Ghazi Khan. Large numbers of students from this region desiring higher
education in Management Sciences and Computer Engineering move to educational institutions
in Lahore, Islamabad or Karachi.
The city of Multan is well placed to serve not only these four divisions, but also
adjoining areas in Sind, Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. In view of the heavy
pressure of students seeking admission to courses of the kind offered by AIR University,
the Prime Minister directed for the establishment of the Multan Campus of the University.
The management conducted a feasibility study and decided to set up two faculties,
Applied and Basic Sciences and Administrative Sciences in Phase I, to be followed
by Engineering in Phase II. The University started the Multan Campus in the heart
of the city in a rented building named Khan Centre at Abdali Road, Multan Cantt.
In the fullness of time the campus will be constructed over an area of 200 acres
in the suburbs of Multan.
The University announced admission for two programs, BSCS and BBA (Honors) in the
month of January 2011 and classes for these programs started on April 19, 2011.
From Fall 2011 semester a third degree program, MBA (3 ½ years), is also being offered.
The campus is closely linked with the parent departments of the main campus and
have worked a regular mechanism of knowledge sharing with them. The Multan campus
is linked through PERN with the main campus. The facility of teleconferencing is
provided. Therefore the class lectures of Islamabad campus and scholars of international
repute are supplemented.
The efforts are underway to hire highly qualified and professionally experienced
teachers in the fields of finance, marketing, management and computer science. A
computer lab has been established at the campus with internet facility. This computer
lab is connected with HEC digital library. The students of these programs have almost
unlimited access to the computer and professional software tools and other facilities
of the main campus. The library of the campus is going to be established with the
latest books in all areas of management sciences and computer science.
