Founded as a Federally Chartered University in July 2000, the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences is a premiere University of Pakistan, renowned for the quality and impact of its students in the development of local software and other industries. The university has five modern campuses in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, and Chiniot-Faisalabad. These campuses provide world-class educational environments and recreational facilities to over 11,000 students, around one quarter are female, and over 500 skilled faculty members.
The National University of Computer & Emerging Sciences is the first multi-campus private sector university set up under the Federal Charter granted by Ordinance No.XXIII of 2000, dated July 01, 2000.
The University started with an impressive advantage in that, thanks to the Foundation FAST’s selfless, ceaseless, and imaginative efforts, it inherited four first-rate computer science institutes located in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Peshawar, in spacious buildings and prestigious settings.
These institutes, individually and collectively, have established leadership positions due to the splendid vision of enlightened management and the tireless efforts of a highly qualified faculty. Over the years FAST has become the hallmark of excellence in the academic arena, domestic market, and international community.
