Vice Chancellor Message

I am delighted to welcome the new and continuing students of AIOU to enroll in the programs of their choice for the Autumn 2009 semester. As you will notice the University has continued to expand its course offerings to meet the growing educational needs of its students and the nation. All the post-graduate programs available this semester comply with the HEC criteria and standards for admission, retention, and graduation. The available M.Phil and Ph.D level programs in various specializations are a judicious blend of course work and research. They are designed to produce specialist scholars who can successfully participate in the global knowledge economy through their internationally assessed research work. The post graduate programs are selectively open to future educational leaders in Natural and Social Sciences.
The University is offering various delivery modes including distance learning, face-to –face learning and a blending of the two. All Masters Programs particularly in Computer Sciences and Business Administration have significant face-to-face components. Students are encouraged to plan their schedules accordingly.
Quality teacher education programs are the need of the hour. Faculty of Education has offered this semester its well recognized programs to prepare educators and scholar teachers in Distance and Non-Formal Education, Educational Planning and Management, Science Education, Elementary/Secondary Teacher Education and Special Education. I encourage prospective and practicing teachers to avail these programs to enhance their professional competence.
As usual the University has continued to offer short-term education programs, certificate completion programs for Intermediate and Matric students, Open Tech courses at selected sites and Dars-e-Nizami from Matric to Bachelor's levels. I encourage all the continuing and fresh students to complete their admission process by or before the deadline of 5 th September, 2009. Continuing students computerized admission forms have been mailed to them. In case you do not get them by August 15, 2009 you can download them from the AIOU website or get them from your nearby AIOU regional office. Please deposit the required fee in any of the nominated branches of National Bank, Habib Bank, Allied Bank, Al-Falah Bank or First Women Bank along with your necessary documents by or before the deadline.
