VU Faculty
VU comprises the most competent professors who develop and deliver quality courses. They are seasoned teachers having life long experience in their specific fields. These academics were previously restricted to their respective cities and institutions. Virtual University of Pakistan, due to its mode of delivery, has made these professors available to the students who could never think of having access to them previously. VU course outline is comparatively better than majority of the Pakistani universities. It is important to note that VU is a full-fledged university and provides opportunities regularly to their students to participate in local and international events. For instance, 7 VU students (out of the 10 students selected from Pakistan) recently participated in the world’s largest student conference – Education without Borders 2005, Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.
In addition, recetnly, VU won 1st Prize in PERN Logo competition organized by the Higher Education Commission.
Currently, more than 2500 students are enrolled, and it is expected that this amount will double and triple very shortly in the near future. In other words, VU alone will be producing thousands of high qualified graduates every year!
VU is getting popularity not only in Pakistan but also outside the Pakistan as well. Overseas, Pakistanis are also showing interest in VU. VU does face certain challenges, such as striving to establish new educational resources and promoting active cooperation and self-motivation on the part of the students.
