Dear Student,

Welcome to Allama Iqbal Open University, the first distance education university in South Asia that
provides cost effective education to 1.3 million students not only in Pakistan but also in Middle East.
This university has the unique privilege of blurring temporal and spatial boundaries by providing
education at the thresholds of the students. The university offers a diverse range of educational
facilities, starting from basic literacy programs to the PhD level. The courses are regularly revised
to bring them at par with international standards. The university offers maximum number of
specializations at postgraduate level through four faculties, i.e. Faculty of Arabic and Islamic Studies,
Faculty of Education, Faculty of Sciences, and Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities. The
university has a huge network of faculty members, tutors, resource persons, specialists and experts
who strive hard to ensure that the programs offered by the university enable the students to become independent learners and
critical thinkers. The university takes special measures to establish and strengthen research culture and prepare those individuals
who can play an instrumental role in the process of progress and development of the country.

I welcome you to the postgraduate studies at AIOU and wish you a challenging yet successful journey ahead.

Prof. Dr. Zia Ul-Qayyum

Vice Chancellor, AIOU
 1. ALLAMA IQBAL OPEN UNIVERSITY
Allama Iqbal Open University, a mega university was
established in 1974 under an Act of Parliament. The Main
Campus of the University is situated in Sector H-8,
Islamabad. It was the second open university of the world
and the first of its kind in Asia and Africa. The aim of
establishing AIOU was to provide affordable and
accessible education through distance learning at the
door-steps to those people who could not continue their
education journey through formal system of education.
The University (AIOU) operates on semester system and
admits students in Autumn and Spring semesters. Under
graduate admissions are offered in both the semesters
where-as postgraduates are offered once a year. The
enrolled students are given course books specially
prepared by the university on self-instructional principles.
However, at post graduate level reprints of foreign books
alongwith allied material and university prepared study
guides help students to polish their skills.
At present, the AIOU is offering programmes from matric
to PhD level in diverse disciplines comprised of four
faculties.
2
The university has established study centres across the
country where distance education students are provided
necessary guidance by their respective tutors. The
university has established full-time study centres and is
offering four years’ under-graduate degrees.
Apart from curricular and extra-curricular activities during
the academic year, the AIOU and its regional centres
actively participate in the co-curricular activities by
arranging educational and literary seminars, workshops
and conferences at national and international level,
attended not only by the students and faculties of the
university but also by the renowned dignitaries and
scholars. For the science students and the research
scholars, a science complex has been built where they use
the latest equipment of international standard for
experiments and research. To meet the present day
challenges, internet facility is also available in the student
hostels and the Central Library where computers have been
provided to enable students to access latest information
available through open source databases.

FACULTY OF SCIENCES
Faculty of Sciences forms an important and integral part of the
university. Since its establishment in 1982 with five teaching
departments, it has undergone major development changes. It now
comprises nine teaching and research departments which are
offering courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels to
more than ten thousand students. The Faculty operates under the
basic guidelines of the University Act and on “Education for All as
Convenient” basis so that maximum students get benefit from its
academic programmes and educational facilities. This principle has
necessitated some structural changes in the non-formal mode,
particularly at the postgraduate level, in the offering of theory
courses and practical lab work.
This conceptual adjustment has been quite successful and many of
its in-service students are benefiting from the postgraduate study
programmes. Improvement in qualifications for a better life is a right
of everyone and the Faculty’s programmes meet this challenge by
offering opportunities to all. In particular, a significant number of
beneficiaries are those who cannot afford education in formal
institutions due to a variety of reasons.
Realizing the importance of science education and growing needs of
the Faculty of Sciences, the University has completed a building, the
Research Complex, at a cost of Rs.35 million. The Research
Complex now accommodates departments of Agricultural Sciences,
Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Sciences, Home & Health
Sciences, Mathematics, Statistics and Physics. These departments
5
are running a variety of postgraduate technical, scientific and
professional programmes successfully. The Research Complex also
has a Computer Lab with Internet and On-line Library Facility for
literature survey, Seminar Room, Lecture Hall and Library. In
addition, there are many labs for practical work, teaching and
research, and instrumentation labs for analysis. The University is
developing these labs through its own resources. The Faculty of
Sciences is fortunate to have Prof. Dr. Zia Ul-Qayyum as the
University’s Vice-chancellor, who has given personal attention to
the development of the Faculty of Sciences by providing generous
amount of funds and valuable guidance.
Two Model labs have been developed in the Research Complex with
the assistance of the Higher Education Commission to meet the
training needs of science teachers. This development is significant
for training of teachers since under the new educational policy four-
year BS programme has started in undergraduate educational
institutions.
More than fifty highly qualified full-time faculty members are on
the role of the Faculty of Sciences. Their role in the planning,
designing and development of courses to meet student’s needs is
vital. Faculty members also engage in imparting and supervising of
instructions so that high standards are maintained. In addition,
highly qualified and experienced professors are also engaged on
contractual basis or as part time instructors for postgraduate study
programmes. The Faculty is also offering academic positions under
the tenure-track system to attract the best minds in scientific and
technological fields.
Research is an integral part of the postgraduate study programmes
leading to MSc, MPhil and PhD degrees in Agricultural Sciences,
Chemistry, Computer Sciences, Home and Health Sciences,
Physics, Mathematics and Statistics. Rules and regulations
governing the postgraduate study programmes are those approved
by the Higher Education Commission (HEC).
The Faculty has launched BS programme in Chemistry and
Microbiology from semester Spring 2009. The four-year BS
programme is structured according to the recent policies of the
Higher Education Commission for the improvement of the
standard of education so as to bring it at par with the international
standards.

 FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND
HUMANITIES
First established in 1981 with five departments, the Faculty of Social
Sciences and Humanities has, over the years, flourished to become,
by far, the largest Faculty of the University. It, today, consists of 14
departments offering masters programmes in major areas of Social
Sciences and Humanities like, Business Administration, Economics,
Mass Communication, Sociology, Urdu, Library & Information
Sciences, History, Pakistan Studies and Teaching of English as a
foreign Language (TEFL). Additionally, efforts are afoot to plan and
launch post-graduate programmes in Pakistani Languages and Law.
The Commonwealth-collaborated master’s programmes in the areas
of Business and Public Administration, which are specially tailored
for the modern day busy executives, were launched in Spring 2002
semester.
In tune with the government’s policy of promoting and
