Undergraduate Study Center

The Undergraduate Study Center was established at IUB in 2007 to groom youth of the nation with an orientation in the rapidly progressing field of knowledge by imparting discipline-specific skills so that they may operate effectively in the society after the completion of their degree programs. The center specifically aims to improve study skills, encourages and stimulates interest in learning to prepare the students for entry at the graduate level by offering them diverse courses designed to acquaint them with a broad perspective of knowledge in specialized as well as generalized areas. The center has been established according to the plans of the Higher Education policy makers and managers in Pakistan who have realized importance and need of a knowledge-based economy for progress and prosperity of the nation. It is expected that the students trained through these programs would be the finest potential candidates for training at graduate and Postgraduate levels of education.
