and global levels. We at University of Gujrat also pay heed to initiate skill based disciplines, in consonance with growing market demands that cater to the emerging needs of resource hailing from poor segments of population. The University has attained remarkable prominence in recent years due to its research and development activities. Several projects of national importance are already underway and significantly contributing towards knowledge gen-eration. Majority of the faculty is pro-actively competing for national and in-ternational research grants. Our direct participation in research activities will be fruitful for teaching in the long run because in today’s world, at university level, teaching and research are insep-arable and mutually reinforcing.
I appreciate the faculty and staff for demonstrating their enthusiasm and making valuable contributions towards the development of the University. I hope and pray that our bold initiatives and valiant efforts bear fruit in trans-forming UOG into a World Class Uni-versity.

In my capacity as the Vice Chancellor of University of Gujrat (UOG), I am con-fident that we have human and mate-rial resources at our disposal to shape up UOG into a top ranking institution of Pakistan. The dedication exhibited by the University staff and faculty has al-ready brought UOG within top ten uni-versities of Pakistan in a short span of just six years. It is the manifestation of collective wisdom and efforts made by all stakeholders and now we are carv-ing our way towards makcarv-ing it a world class university.
At intellectual level, we aim to infuse in our students a deep concern and sense of responsibility towards up-lifting socio-economic conditions of the country and developing a convic-tion to make Pakistan a progressive democratic state. Only this is the way forward through which we can make the students responsible citizens and rational social actors who can exert hard and contribute their due share in the overall development of Pakistan besides pooling knowledge at regional In today’s modern world marked by
information technology, knowledge-based economies and scientific prog-ress, education has become a corner-stone for the progress and prosperity of nations and individuals alike.

Main contrib-utors are PEEF scholarships, HEC scholarships, indigenous fee concessions, Mora Zakat scholarships, bank loans, fi-nancial aids, and work study program for senior students. These are launched with the collaboration of Higher Edu-cation Commission.

Hostel Facilities
Separate hostel accommodation is avail-able for both male and female students. Priority is given to those students having some disability or living more than 40 ki-lometres away from the campus. Since accommodation in hostels is limited, uni-versity authorities may not be able to pro-vide accommodation to all the applicants.

These include Mess, common room with television, news-papers, guest rooms, computer room, electric water coolers, gymnasium, hostel laundry, outdoor games, geysers (water heaters), sui-gas heaters, electrical and plumbing maintenance.
The students seeking admission to a hos-tel should apply on the prescribed form (along with four attested passport size pho-tographs). Only those students who are on regular rolls of UOG and are enrolled for a degree program as full-time students will be allowed admission in the hostels.

Established in 2009, Depart-ment of Architecture is at-tracting students from within and outside Gujrat District. The department is creating public awareness about ar-chitecture profession in Gu-jrat District and its surround-ing small towns and cities. It aims to develop profes-sionals who think and design creatively while critically ad-dressing the socio-econom-ic, cultural, environmental conditions at local and glob-al level. Pleasing and inspir-ing ambience at the depart-ment gives the opportunity to students coming from di-verse backgrounds to pro-vide imaginative and innova-tive solutions to the design problems in hand. Design studios, well equipped with latest technological and dis-play facilities, are the places of critical, thought provoking,
stimulating discussions and assignments/projects where individual students are guid-ed by highly qualifiguid-ed faculty to develop their own archi-tectural expressions. Rich heritage of Gujrat District, its historic buildings, urban patterns, built environmental issues and future develop-ment are under study at the department where emphasis is placed on designing with sensitivity to the context. The department actively par-ticipates in research, various national and international events. Guest talks, semi-nars and study tours are ar-ranged to link the teaching at the department with society and professional practice.
Program Overview
Department of Architecture offers five year professional Bachelor of Architecture
(B.Arch.) degree program. The program is designed to equip the students with knowledge and skills need-ed to address the challeng-es posed by contemporary society and produce profes-sionals who design in sen-sitivity to socio-economic, cultural, environmental and technological realities. The major goals of programs are as follows:
• Develop the ability to create design incorporat-ing aesthetic and technical requirements that should be environmentally sustainable and relevant to the context.
• A comprehensive
understanding of relation-ship between people, build-ings and their environment, and the need to relate build-ings and the spaces between them to human needs and scales considering socio-cultural, psychological
envi-ronmental and technological aspects.
• Adequate knowledge
of history and theories of ar-chitecture and the related arts, technologies and human sciences, together with un-derstanding of the structural design, construction and en-gineering problems, associ-ated with building design. The five year degree program has three stages; Foundation, Intermediate and Final. First year foundation is commonly taught to students enrolled in various disciplines offered at School of Art, Design & Ar-chitecture (SADA). This year introduces the students to the common basis of art, design and architecture, while also incorporating visual, graphi-cal and oral skills. The inter-mediate stage has two years (2nd and 3rd) devoted to in-troduce the students to ba-sics of architecture, enhanc-ing design skills with critical and innovative thinking. The final stage at fourth and fifth year is devoted to deepen the perception of architecture as
an activity in space and time within a given physical, socio-cultural and historical con-text. Fifth year is dedicated to broaden the exposure of the profession of architecture by creating awareness about the challenges of the archi-tectural practice, and vari-ous contemporary issues of social and built environment are discussed. Students are encouraged to develop their own individual preferences, potential, aptitude, expres-sion and design approach. During thesis study and writ-ing, the students are encour-aged to apply their concepts and philosophies in a project of their own choice by ap-plying knowledge which they have gained in the last four years.
Career Opportunity
Graduating students have various career choices. They can go into professional field as practicing architects and open up their own consul-tancy firms after gaining suit-able experience. Landscape

Study of material is encour-aged and is applied in a wide range of students’ projects. Advance studies in rendering a 3 dimensional form in relation to space is inculcated in the students as they undertake the Sculp-tural Ceramics course, which is mandatory for all ceramic
students. The students enjoy a well-rounded experience as they have the collabora-tion with the ceramic indus-try and participate in national and international trade exhi-bitions. Along with the expo-sure to industry, the students also benefit from the national and international artists and practitioners who visit often and give workshops in tech-nical and artistic realms. Individual studio space for students is provided for a fo-cused, distraction free envi-ronment. State of the art gas kilns as well as Raku kilns along with different manual firing stations are provided so that the students are fa-cilitated on campus and understand the kiln mainte-nance. Specialized instruc-tion to glaze chemistry and material preparation is given to the students for better
un-derstanding of the material. Students are also taken to field trips to the ceramic in-dustry, artists’ studios and heritage sites to broaden their horizon and expand their exposure to sculptural and utilitarian ceramics. Design seminars are also held regularly to enhance their formal and conceptual study of art and design to enable them to think outside the convention and express themselves like true, well-rounded artists.
