Beaconhouse National University, BNU Pakistan's First Not-for-Profit Liberal Arts University. BNU was awarded the degree awarding charter by the Government of the Punjab in 2005.

Beaconhouse National University (BNU) is Pakistan’s first not-for-profit Liberal Arts University, founded in 2003 to provide tertiary education in the arts, design, architecture, media, humanities and social sciences, business and information technology. BNU’s mission is to foster empowered and impactful global citizens in a diverse, socially sensitive, cross-disciplinary, liberal arts environment. It is our proclaimed resolve that no eligible student is ever turned away from our doors for reasons of affordability; hence we have instituted generous need and merit-based scholarship programs both for fresh and enrolled students. BNU prides itself in counting amongst its faculty visionary pedagogues, many renowned artists and designers, seasoned curators, international development experts, authors with published research and established practices, cutting across geo-cultural boundaries, and in sync with globally prevailing ideas and narratives. The campus is spread over 35 acres conveniently accessible from all major localities of the city. The campus is purpose-built under the authorship of the internationally acclaimed architectural firm, Nayyar Ali Dada Associates. It has three large academic blocks, a library, an administration block, a multi-storey cafeteria, volleyball and basketball courts, football and cricket fields and a secure and safe on-campus boarding facility for national and international students. BNU aims to provide the finest collegial environment for our faculty and scholars keeping the student faculty ratio of as low as 12 in studio courses with an average of fewer than 25 in theory courses. The university’s state-of-the-art infrastructure including lecture theatres, auditoriums and equipped art, design, new media and film technology studios and computing and psychometric labs deliver the complementary set-up to warrant seamless flow of applied knowledge. Additionally, BNU offers a distinctively empowering co-curricular environment that actively promotes student involvement in a range of extra-curricular and community engagement programs. DISCLAIMER:

Some of the best signals of what an education can do come from a single trajectory. Mujtaba Qasim, from BNU's School of Management Sciences, is now studying at Rennes School of Business in Rennes, France — an EQUIS- and AACSB-accredited institution recognised as one of Europe's leading business schools.

This is what BNU's growing network of international partnerships is built for: real seats, real classrooms, real exposure to how business is taught and practiced elsewhere in the world.

Watch Mujtaba share what the move has meant for him. If you're curious where a BNU degree could take you, our Office of Academic Partnerships is the place to start that conversation.

World Water Week is an annual global platform that brings attention to the growing challenges facing water resources and the need for sustainable water management. As Pakistan faces increasing pressure on its water resources, conserving every drop is becoming more important for our communities, ecosystems, and future.

Our everyday choices can help reduce water waste and promote responsible water use. Small changes in how we use, manage, and value water can contribute to a more water-secure and resilient Pakistan.
