Choosing a university is certainly one of the most important decisions, made even more difficult in our changing times where the world has lost its old equilibrium without having found new values. The frontiers of the economy are reforming and in continuous evolution and work opportunities are emerging in the fields of communications, e-commerce, finance, media, and social and community based services. In this brave new world the university can no longer limit itself to provide text book knowledge and mere academic preparation reducing itself to an exam house attaching titles and empty labels, neither can it continue to ignore the changing needs of a global employment market and the profound changes in the environment awaiting the students beyond the campuses. In a short period of time, University of Management and Technology has established itself as a leading forum for creativity and enquiry based learning. In developing a management and technological focus designed to encourage students to become enlightened citizens fully cognizant of their rights and responsibilities, UMTs aim has been to impart a degree of knowledge and skills that will enable students to pursue a successful career and contribute to productive activities; sensitize students to ethical values and be tolerant of cultural diversity; motivate students to pursue excellence in their chosen field, seek broader and higher objectives and strive to serve the community, and society as a whole. As UMT completes its fourth academic year, there are two important developments, which promise a bright future for the University: The first phase of the 155 kanal purpose-built campus in Johar Town, Lahore, is fast nearing completion and will be commissioned in the early part of this year. We plan to shift the existing student body that is presently housed in rented premises in three different locations, to the new campus, in a phased manner. The campus incorporates all the essential features of a modern university meeting international standards and offers excellent facilities for teaching and learning. After the completion of the final phase, the campus will accommodate nearly 5000 students. The range of programs being offered by the University have been widened to include areas of specialization that would open up greater opportunities for our graduates in the job markets at home and abroad. Some of the new degree programs introduced are Human Resource Management, Media and Communications, Applied Linguistics, Industrial Management, Project Management and E-commerce. University of Management and Technologys mission is to prepare a new breed of leaders, courageous, sincere individuals with the intellectual abilities, cross cultural versatility, practical skills and ethics needed to operate in todays business world. The faculty at UMT are also life long students, as they learn from their interaction with new students in a pleasant and stimulating environment. Senior faculty at UMT has been increasing steadily and now there are 25 PhDs among our 100 permanent faculty members. Our website and prospectus spells out in considerable detail, the undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate courses that the University is currently offering. Faculty and staff at UMT will be more than glad to meet parents and prospective students to explain courses and assist in selection of possible career paths that each course can lead to.
