Quaid-i-Azam, the founder of Pakistan fought to create Pakistan where there would be no segregation among its citizens on the basis of cast, creed or language. The mission of the Abbottabad University of Science & Technology is to impart knowledge in the fields of emerging science & Technology, social sciences as well as liberal arts inculcating the universal values of truth, beauty and goodness among the younger generations, on the one hand, and to provide a befitting research base for contributing original research to the world research pool for the service of mankind, on the other. It further aims at imbuing the students with higher and nobler ideals of Islam and socializing them into well-rounded persons ever ready to serve their own nation, the Ummah and humanity at large. The mission of the University, therefore, is to impart education systematically, gradually but surely spreading over centuries. The objective of the University, therefore, is to impart universal education systematically and gradually but surely to the coming generations of students for over indefinitely remote and distant future with Godspeed.
