PROSPECTUS 2020 Intermediate Programmes GOVERNMENT COLLEGE WOMEN UNIVERSITY FAISALABAD “ There are two powers in the worlds. One is the sword and to other, the pen. However, there is a third power stronger than both, that of the women” MUHAMMAD ALI JINNAH Founder of Pakistan Chancellor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar Governer of the Punjab H www.gcwuf.edu.pk Vice Chancellor Message Government College Women University is a distinguished institution in Faisalabad which is efficiently catering for the educational needs of the female community. From a modest beginning as an Intermediate College in 1934, GCWUF gained the current towering status of University in January 2013. Since then, it has been striving incessant- ly to empower female students by offering multi-disci- plinary programs ranging from Intermediate level to BS, MS/MSC, MPhil and PhD degree programs. The highly motivated faculty, determined to exploit all available re- sources, is contributing substantially to materialize the dream of women self-dependency and empowerment. Research is deemed to be a significant indicator to gauge the distinguished performance of an institution. Keeping this fact into consideration, GCWUF is focused to promote re- search culture by providing an intellectual environment conducive to achieve research ex- cellence in respective fields. Fully cognizant of the significance of knowledge-based econo- my and information technology, GCWUF aims to introduce new programs which are more specific to women employability and entrepreneurship. A fairly high amount is devoted to support economically disadvantaged and marginalized students through need-based and merit-based scholarships. At campus level, multiple societies are functionalized to explore the hidden talents of students. These societies are activated to design diverse opportunities for the mental and spiritual development of the potential participants. They are further objected to inculcate the desirable qualities of patience and tolerance among students to approve diversity of opinions, beliefs and practices in immediate and outer environment. At academic level, conferences, seminars and workshops are frequently conducted to nourish the creative and analytical capacities of students. We, at GCWUF, are committed to enhance our quality standards at internal and external level to achieve the sublime objectives outlined in the University Mission Statement. We are aimed to strengthen the core values of hard work, truthfulness and integrity. All efforts are directed to renovate and develop new infrastructure, academic blocks, computer laborato- ries, female hostels, digitalization of library, general and specialized research labs and other miscellaneous facilities at University Campus.
