History
Bahria University has its genesis in Bahria Colleges and Bahria Institutes of Management and Computer Sciences which were established by Pakistan Navy in nineteen eighties and nineties in Islamabad and Karachi. These Institutes and Colleges were affiliated with Peshawar University to conduct Bachelor and Master Degree programmes in the disciplines of Business Management and Computer Sciences. The academic facilities and quality of these programmes attracted large number of students to enroll in these Institutes; thus necessitating the management to enlarge their scope and academic infrastructure. It led to conceive the idea of establishing a fully chartered university by the name of Bahria University which could offer Bachelor and higher degree programmes in variety of academic disciplines to large segment of society. The University since its establishment is contributing tremendously in the promotion of higher education and in producing professionals in areas like Electronics & Telecommunication, Electrical, Computer Sciences, Software Engineering, Business Management, Earth & Environmental Sciences, Medical and Health Sciences, Professional Psychology, Social Sciences and Law. Bahria University now stands as one of the leading Universities of Pakistan. Its graduates are working in various Public Sector Organizations, multi-national companies and international concerns. The growth and policies of university are governed by its Board of Governors comprising senior naval officers and representatives of Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education and Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. Chief of the Naval Staff is the Chairman Board of Governors as well as Pro-Chancellor of the University.
