Welcome to the fastest growing academic community in the Country – the Virtual University of Pakistan. In just a few years this Federal Government University has become one of the largest higher education institutions of the country. Its graduates are gainfully employed by prominent industrial and business concerns and many have established their own enterprises and are providing employment to others. A large number of VU graduates are continuing their studies at other top tier universities both within and outside Pakistan.
You must be aware that VU is the pioneer in Information and Communications Technology based education in Pakistan. It employs a unique pedagogy involving video content delivered through multiple modes including broadcast television, the World Wide Web and DVDs. Comprehensive student-teacher interaction and support is provided over the Internet and supplemented using mobile devices. The University has developed world-class courses for you and in order to fully benefit from them, you should become completely familiar with the University’s Learning Management System (LMS).
To become an internationally acclaimed technology based university that improves access to higher education while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Development of Higher Education is a primary condition for the socio-economic development and societal transformation. It builds the critical human capital necessary for research, innovation, growth and development across all sectors of economy. Inclusive access to higher education can thus transform our strong demographic advantage into a peaceful, modern and prosperous society. To fully benefit from the prevailing demographic reality, we need to educate our people in the shortest possible time. However, supply of qualified faculty vis-`a-vis demand is the single largest challenge in accomplishing the task without compromising the quality of education. A practical solution to the problem is the use of modem Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools to deliver education while maintaining high and internationally compatible standards of education.
Virtual University of Pakistan is the pioneer university to leverage the use of ICT in imparting the best possible education to its students all over the country including the remote areas as well as the Pakistani diaspora overseas. With its extremely flexible mode, Virtual University enables the students to manage their studies at their convenience and offers every opportunity to discover hidden talents.
The Virtual University, Pakistan’s first University based completely on modern Information and Communication Technologies, was established by the Government as a public sector, not-for-profit institution with a clear mission: to provide extremely affordable world class education to aspiring students all over the country.
Using free-to-air satellite television broadcasts and the Internet, the Virtual University allows students to follow its rigorous programs regardless of their physical locations. It thus aims at alleviating the lack of capacity in the existing universities while simultaneously tackling the acute shortage of qualified professors in the country. By identifying the top Professors of the country, regardless of their institutional affiliations, and requesting them to develop and deliver hand-crafted courses, the Virtual University aims at providing the very best courses to not only its own students but also to students of all other universities in the country.
The University opened its virtual doors in 2002 and in a short span of time its outreach has reached over one hundred cities of the country with more than one hundred and ninety associated institutions providing infrastructure support to the students. Pakistani students residing overseas in several other countries of the region are also enrolled in the University's programs.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
VU has taken a great initiative to build a bright future for those who really wish to do something and were just waiting for some opportunity. The study programs were nice always. all the lecturers are doctorate and experienced in their fields. Their style of teaching was very nice. The training program of DigiSkills which is open to all is, in my view, another milestone in VU's history. I also saw TV channels of VU on cable network and moreover all the learning is free to all. Anyone can take lectures from YouTube and VU channels.

VU contributed a lot in my life, "Quality education at door step" and VU really means it. I did my MBA in 2009-11, during my study I had to shift cities thrice and VU facilitated me in every city with campus facility which is really great.
Study system is too good and very flexible, which suits me a lot and I took complete advantage of it. I really recommend others too especially those who are doing job as you can take exams even on Sunday and can make your date sheet according to your own schedule which is extraordinarily wonderful. :)

This is the best university in Pakistan according to me. I have a reason to say this. I graduated from here and I can say that the teachers here are extra ordinary. No teacher is under educated or fresh or less experienced. The top teachers from all over the Pakistan teach and if a student studies here with full focus, I believe that he/she will never fail in his/her field. Thank You VU
