02 Rector’s Message

Bahria University is one of the leading public sector universities of Pakistan, which is dedicated to meet many complex challenges facing us today. The university has campuses, research institutes and colleges all over Pakistan which work towards grooming today’s youth into becoming tomorrow’s leaders. We provide a platform for promising minds to come together, pioneer new thought and serve the world around them. And for this we provide the right mix of faculty, resources, environments and technology so that both learners and teachers are inspired to create, to explore, to discover, to challenge and to lead. At Bahria it is our vision to make our university the best educational institute in the country. Our strategy to achieve this vision is to ensure that theory and practice go hand in hand. We would like to open all the doors for promoting the research potential of the students, which will enable them to use their academic knowledge for practical projects. To this end we have built bridges between the University and the corporate sector, opening the way for research, and making students apply their academic skills to practical projects. And we aim for all this to take place in a university environment that is safe and friendly, and at the same time disciplined, as envisaged by the Quaid e Azam. Because we feel that along with studies it is equally important to develop the good old values of character, decency, honesty and consideration for one another. We believe that young people should have a say in shaping their destinies, we therefore help them to discover their potential, prepare for life and help make a positive impact on the world around them. The unusually high youth population of Pakistan presents a wonderful opportunity for us to play a role in motivating young people to be passionate about rendering positive service to society, and make them be able to do so. Because real fulfillment for any person lies in service to his fellow human beings. We are headed for a future in which educational institutions will increasingly be judged by the quality of the education they provide, by the kind of people they graduate and by the way in which those graduates choose to lead their lives. And we at Bahria University have been striving constantly to meet these challenges.

Itcan challenges student’s perception, about their world and about themselves. Dramatic exploration can provide students with an outlet for emotions, thoughts, and dreams that they might not otherwise have means to express. A student can, if only for a few moments, become another, explore a new role, try out and experiment with various personal choices and solutions to very real problems from their own life, or problems faced by characters in literature or historical figures. This is perhaps the most important reason for Dramatic Arts in schools. Theater and Drama has also been a major part of our culture since the very beginning. BU has always provided means by which students can actively participate in the activities and express their different personalities. Bahria University’s Dramatics club is the Centre of attention. The club enables the students to polish their hidden talent performing live and is thus helping students to promote the culture in a positive manner. A huge body of students interested in performing live in theatres is encouraged by the administration of the university. Plays are being arranged in which students express themselves by performing on the most sensitive societal issues. It is not a ‘traditional’ drama society in the sense, but is made up of a committee which meets every week to discuss funding for shows and to make decisions which improve opportunities for drama across the University.

Future Career Prospects

With CPEC knocking at the doors of Pakistan Economy, a professional supply chain degree holder should be able to find job opportunities almost everywhere. Documentation starts right from where the goods are to be moved to the final destination and customer. These documents are to be prepared, monitored and processed for all supply chain activities. Tariff, transportation, logistics, warehousing, tracking, financing and delivery to the customer are the processes that have been in service since the start of this universe. Countries like Dubai & Singapore are a very good example that provide full optimization of supply chain management. Once the SCM degree holder puts in a couple of years in active supply chain and or acquires International Certification in SCM, he would be in great demand forany company/organization that needs to excel in this business.
