Apart from quality education, the FUI is also fully aware of the importance of sports and is making dedicated endeavors to provide adequate opportunities to its students to participate in a variety of indoor and outdoor games.

I would like to take this opportunity to assure our prospective students and their parents that selecting the FUI for their education will prove to be a wise decision.

Program Structure

The graduate program should embody sufficient flexibility to fulfill the requirements of either an “academic” degree (Breadth-Based) obtained in preparation for further graduate study or a terminal “professional” degree (Depth-Based). The discipline of Computer Science has matured enough that the distinction between academic and professional programs is beginning to appear. However, the concept of an utterly terminal program is not widely accepted in the field. All Computer Science academic programs should provide the possibility of additional study in the field. The proposed program is intended to establish an integrated breadth and depth based curriculum model to assure that the common aspects of various potential masters’ programs in Computer Science are captured. The proposed curriculum structure may be implemented within four-semester time. A project/thesis work may be unified with student’s chosen depth oriented specialties. Generally graduate programs are structured with a common core of fundamental material and wide range of options for the rest of the course work.

Eligibility• BS (CS) 4 Years Degree Program (min 130 credit

hours), or

• Computer Science Conversion Course 2 Years Degree Program referred to as “MCS” or “MSc (CS)”.

• BCS-3 years Degree Program-Student will be required to complete the deficiency of difference of total earned credit hours and 120 credit hours.

• 16 year Science and Engineering graduates are eligible but they have to cover deficiency.

My name is Fraz Muhammad Butt. I have completed BBA and MBA from Foundation University Rawalpindi Campus (FURC). My experience at FURC was really life changing. I developed the skills and abilities that helped me face up to the larger issues which confronted me later in all aspects of life.

By profession is an Islamic banker and I’ve achieved a lot of success and milestones in my professional career Alhamdulillah due to the hard work of my teachers and the learning experience that I had in this University.

When I came across the advertisement for admissions at the FUI back in 2011, I did not know what a transforming experience it will be Two years of learning and mentorship under some of the best teachers I have ever come across and I felt I could take on the world. They aroused my curiosity about learning and broadened the horizons of my mind and made me better person. It is due to the great atmosphere of the FUI and the attitudes of the teachers that now I have joined the FUI as a teacher to learn more from them and continue in their footsteps to play my part in creating an enlightened education youth.

MS English (Literature/Applied Linguistics)

Introduction

The MS English at FUI has been designed in accordance with HEC guidelines. However, the program carves a distinct niche for itself by offering courses that are designed to challenge and stimulate the learners and to provide a rich research-oriented educational experience.

Objectives

The primary objective of the program is to create an environment wherein students are trained to develop criticality and reflection as they garner expertise in different areas of their study. The program also aims to train the students for research and to equip them with the strategies, tools and the conceptual grounding needed to transform them into researchers par excellence.

Streams of MS English: Literature and Applied Linguistics

The MS English program at FUI is unique in that, unlike similar programs at other universities, it offers students the option to specialize in English Literature or Applied Linguistics, which areas are vast domains of study in their own right. Not only does this enable students to opt for a stream that reflects their interests and strengths but also does this allow faculty to tailor the courses to the requirements of each stream rather than to teach generic and diluted versions of the courses as is the case in non-streamed MS English programs. Concomitantly, streaming should also help to produce research professionals who are field experts rather than generalists, which aim is integral to quality research programs at this advanced level.

Admission Criteria

The requisites for admission to the MS English program will be:

• MA English with at least 2.5 CGPA for semester system, 1st division for annual system, 45% marks for Punjab University graduates

• GAT General score of at least 50%

• Passing the FUI entrance test and interview

Assessment

Assessment will be carried out through coursework, assignments, presentations, research projects, research papers and midterm and final term examinations. The assessment will be based on the creativity, argumentative quality, ideational clarity and ingenuity of the work.Scholars will also have to appear in and pass a comprehensive examination (regarding their chosen area of research) to be held in Week 8 of the third semester.

Evaluation of the final dissertation will be carried out as per the HEC rules.
