University, the highest seat of learning helps a nation produce leaders in all disciplines of life. We have therefore an enormous responsibility that can only be fulfilled by cultivating, nurturing and mentoring young minds, employing the best of available human and material resources. As the tertiary level educational institution and the largest and most comprehensive general University in Faisalabad we offer a wide range of courses in the fields through Natural and Physical Sciences (Environmental Sciences, Botany, Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Wild life and Fisheries, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, etc.) to Information technology and Computer Sciences, Telecom. Engineering, Food and Home Sciences, Law, Pharmacy, Management & Business Sciences, the Humanities, Social Sciences, Fine Arts, and also in emerging areas of Bio-technology, Bio-informatics, etc.
The “Education” sector with its myriad challenges requires professional competence and dedicated talent ultimately making the country’s human resources more productive. Our academic programs have been designed to meet the needs of students, employers, and the local/national/international community. We are an institution committed to excellence in teaching and in an ever-increasing manner, to research and development. Through ongoing curricula development and extensive course offerings, we continue to ensure quality education for our students. Our mission is to be the premier University, making available quality education, research and service. Students may choose from an extensive number of academic programs and majors that meet their academic and career interests. Consequently, we have plotted a path for the future. Increasingly we are judging our performance in the context of achievable but challenging benchmarks; thinking globally, establishing international relationships, and generally making the university an exciting academic place to be.
Our University has attained a very positive slope in terms of its attitude and we are committed to excellence in professional education, and have enormous growth potential. Albeit, the University’s nationally recognized growth, we are committed to provide our students with the highest level of education and service. Our faculty and staff are dedicated, highly qualified professionals committed to offer students personal service and attention. GCUF offers students a higher education experience that is rigorous, effective, personalized, and rich in cultural diversity. We emphasize the importance of merit in everything. Expectations about academic performance predominate over all other matters. If you want to become a part of GCUF, you will need to understand and accept this emphasis on academic standards, and the consequences of not performing at your best. We hope that you will understand and accept that we are doing this in the interest of students, the University and the nation.
