Further development of Islamia University Bahawalpur

The sand dunes have been converted into well-built faculties, green lawns, hostels, residential colony, farms and orchards. It is known as Baghdad-ul- Jadeed Campus. The university started with ten departments but now this number has increased to 39 offering 53 disciplines. While planning to commence new departments and disciplines due consideration is given to market as well as area specific needs. Consequently, apart from conventional disciplines of Religious Affairs, Languages and Basic Sciences; education is being imparted in the areas of Pharmacy and Alternative medicine, Business Administration, Engineering, Agriculture, Veterinary Sciences, Informatics, Law, Education, Fine Arts, and Sports Sciences etc. The university values quality education rather than quantity. Towards achievement of this end a team of highly qualified and committed faculty members has been developed. Moreover, research is being made corner stone of the educational philosophy. This time IUB has more then 53 departments, Faculties and centers.

In order to provide opportunities of higher education to the youth at their door step, two campuses were established at Rahim Yar Khan and Bahawalnagar in 2005. Initially departments of Management Science and Computer Science & Information Technology were established for which response was very encouraging. The departments of Commerce, Education and Educational Training were also launched during the academic year 2006-07.
