The City of LahoreOnce walled and contained within thirteen

gates, the city of Lahore has now expanded into

a mega city with a population count of nearly ten

million. This historic city has been an important

seat of power in different eras. It was the capital

city for the Ghaznavids rule in the 12th century;for the Mughals in the 16th century; the Sikhs in

the 19th century and the regional capital during

the British rule in the 19th and the 20th

centuries.

The ageless landmarks of Lahore’s historical

journey stretch across the suburbs of the city.

Badshahi Mosque, Lahore Fort, Shalimar

Gardens, mausoleums of Jahangir and

The Lahore Museum was established in 1864 in Lahore on Mall Road in front of Punjab University.

12




Noorjahan continue to be silent yet eloquent

historians of their times. Similarly, the British

Gothic structures like the Lahore High Court, the

General Post Office, Lahore Museum are the

concrete footprints of the British rule here.

What can be termed as a positive contribution by

the British rulers for the betterment of the

people of Lahore and the region was the

establishment of some of the outstanding

educational institutions over the soil of Lahore.

These include King Edward Medical College in

1860, Government College, Lahore in 1864, the

University of the Punjab in 1882, and Kinnaird

College in 1913, in addition to scores of other

learning institutes of different disciplines.

Ever since, Lahore has been the centre and

source of remarkable economic, cultural and

academic progress in the region. It is called the

city of colleges, having the largest number oflearning institutions on its soil. Amongst them is

also the University of Central Punjab, that is

remarkably playing its part in augmenting the

academic standards in the city as well as in the

country.

The city, over a relatively brief period of time, has

made huge progress in the field of journalism,

too. Hosts of TV stations and a number of

newspapers and other publications are

providing news and commentaries 24/7.

Lahore has the honor to be the eternal resting

place of a number of saints. Individuals like Ali

Hajveri, Bibi Pak Daman and other noble souls,

reposing since centuries in the crust of Lahore,

continue to gravitate millions to their shrines.

When it comes to leisure and recreation, besides

other pursuits, Lahorees enjoy eating with fervor

and flavor. No wonder, food stalls and food

streets have a booming business round the year.

However, some of the Lahore eating spots have

also been the meet points for intellectuals and

scholars. Pak Tea House is one of those places

where people like Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Ibne Insha,

Saadat Hassan Manto and others sipped their tea

and shaped their ideas.

Fostering its own unique and abiding values,

Lahore continues to march forward, true to its

axiomatic depiction: Lahore is Lahore.

The University of Central Punjab (UCP)Education in the twenty-first century demands a

balance between continuity and change. The

technological leaps and the consequences

thereof have overtaken the old educational

paradigms and new concepts have emerged in

the world of learning. The Punjab Group of

Colleges (PGC) was among the first to realize this

transition and its challenges. The PGC, therefore,

submitted a petition to the Government of the

Punjab, in August 1996, to allow to establish a

university in the province. A No Objection

Certificate was issued in October 1999. The

charter to establish the University of Central

Punjab (UCP) was awarded in April 2002. Thus

this University clinched the distinction of

becoming the first private sector university in

the Punjab which acquired the status of a degree

awarding institution.

When the University came into operations in

October 1999, it offered courses in Management

Studies, Information Technology, Commerce

and Law through its principal constituents i.e.

Punjab College of Business Administration

(PCBA), Punjab Institute of Computer Sciences

(PICS), Punjab College of Commerce (PCC),

Punjab Law College (PLC) and Punjab College of

Information Technology (PCIT), all situated in

Lahore.

These Colleges were restructured as Faculties ofthe University and became:

1. UCP Business School

2. Faculty of Information Technology

3. Faculty of Commerce

4. Faculty of Engineering

5. Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences

6. Faculty of Pharmacy

7. Faculty of Law

NEXT STEPS

Academic Rules & RegulationsRegistrationAt the time of admission in first semester,

students are assigned courses by the concerned

Dean’s Office. However, in all subsequent

semesters, students, after consulting their

Advisors, may register themselves in courses

selected strictly in order of their Roadmaps.

Registration dates are announced well before

time and students are required to register

themselves during those dates. Students are

expected to pay their dues for the selected

courses before they are formally registered.

Advance payment of dues is approved by the

Dean in exceptional cases only.

Students may revise their registration before

commencement of classes. No student will be

allowed to change courses/sections afterwards.

All fees once paid are non-refundable and

nontransferable.

Withdrawal from a CourseA written request up to one week prior to the

end of a semester must be submitted to the

Dean/Associate Dean for withdrawal from any

course. If approved by the Dean/Associate

Dean, the students can withdraw from a

particular course. However, 'W' will appear on

the transcript and fee paid for such courses will

neither be refunded nor carried over to the next

semester.

Semester LeaveStudents who wish to discontinue study for a

semester are supposed to get written

permission from the Dean’s office to do so in the

first week of semester. They may resume their

study in the next semester on seeking

permission of the Dean’s office at the time of

registration. Students who go on semester

break without permission may not be allowed

to register without fine. If a student freezes the

semester, during the semester, the student’s fee

paid, will neither be refunded nor transferred, in

any case.

Tuition Fee WaiverIn the first semester, a student will pay dues for

the prescribed load. However, in the subsequentsemesters, dues are calculated according to the

number of courses taken by the student, and shall

be payable at the beginning of each semester. The

type of tuition fee waiver to the PGC students or

any other form of concession will continue for the

subsequent semester(s) only if a student fulfills its

CGPA requirements.

Class Attendance PolicyStudents must attend every lecture for each

course in which they are registered. Students not

adhering to the class attendance policy will be

restrained from appearing in the final

examination and they will be given "W" grade in

the course.

There will only be four approved leaves in each

3/4 credit hours course during the semester. No

fine will be charged on approved leaves; however,

on absence beyond approved leaves, fine at the

rate of Rs. 500 per day of absence(s) will be levied.

A student must have 80% of attendance in each

course. Any student missing more than 20% of thetotal classes, will be withdrawn from the course.

No transfer of dues or tuition fee is permissible

when a student is withdrawn from a course. Fee

once paid is neither refundable nor transferable

to the next semester.

Evaluation SystemIt is at the discretion of the course instructor to

decide on the weights of all examinations,

assignments, project, presentations, quizzes etc.

However, as a broad guideline set at this

University, the distribution of weights of these

components is:

Quizzes, Assignments, Test Papers, Class

Participation, etc. = 30 %

Mid-Term Examination = 30 %

Final Examination = 40 %

Final ExaminationA student must appear in all tests/ examinations

as scheduled. However, if a student fails to appear

due to some genuine reason, he/she must seek

permission of the Dean to take the missed

examination. The student will take the missed

examination within two weeks after the

scheduled date. The final examination schedule is

given in the academic calendar of each term and

is provided to all students by the concerned

course instructor at the start of each term.Examination must be taken on the scheduled

dates. Exceptions may be granted only to

individual students in case of an emergency or

other compelling circumstances beyond human

control. All such exceptions must be approved by

the Dean’s office.

Course Numbering SystemEach course number consists of two parts. The

first part contains at most four letters indicating

the subject while the second part contains a

four-digit number. The first digit indicates the

course level. The second digit indicates the field of

subject, the third digit indicates the course

number of the field and the fourth number is

reserved for the number of credit hours. A student

may not enroll in a course unless the

pre-requisites to a course have been successfully

completed. Prerequisites, whereever required, are

mentioned in detailed description of each course

in this prospectus.


27



Grades and Grading SystemAll students receive grade reports indicating

academic progress at the end of each semester for

which they were enrolled. UCP strictly follows a

4-point grading system similar to the one

prevalent at most of the accredited institutions

throughout the globe. The numerical equivalence

of letter grades is given below:

Semester Credit HoursOne semester credit hour means that a particular

course must have at least one & half hour of class

contact per week for a period of 16 weeks. Hence

a course of three-semester credit hours will meet

for approximately 48 hours or 2880 minutes

during a semester. During one semester a student

can take up to 5 courses or 15 semester credit

hours. The time allocated for Mid.-term and Final

examinations is excluded from this computation

of class contact hours.

Summer SemesterA three semester credit hour course can also be

completed in 6-8 weeks time provided the class

contact of at least 2880 minutes is completed

within this time period. Since courses completedin summers are not counted towards degree

completion, student will register in old courses

which he/she wishes to repeat.

Incomplete GradeAn 'I' grade may be assigned to a student who fails

to take the final examination due to legitimate

reason, but otherwise has completed all course

requirements. However, prior permission from the

Dean’s office should be obtained for the award of

'I'. An 'I' so assigned may be changed to a grade

provided the student retakes the final

examination within 3 weeks after the beginning

of the next semester. If the new grade is not

reported within the 4 week period, 'I' shall be

changed to an ' F' grade.

CGPAA student's Cumulative Grade Point Average is

computed by multiplying the number of credit

hours of each course by the grade points assigned

to that grade; then dividing the sum of these

products for all courses by the total number ofcredit hours in which the student was enrolled.

Grade 'I' and Grade 'W' are not used in the

calculation of GPA/CGPA. All students must

maintain a minimum CGPA of 2.0 for successful

continuation of studies at UCP. However, for

courses covered at Master's level, a minimum

CGPA of 2.5 is required.

Transcript Policies Transcripts are issued only at the written request

of the students. Verbal or telephonic requests for

transcripts are neither entertained nor accepted.

Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences (FASS)

‘Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences is one of the younger facultiesof UCP. FASS not only teaches degree programs at graduate and

undergraduate level in arts and humanities, but also provides support across faculty in teaching language, humanities and social sciences courses.’

Dean

Dr. Fehmida Sultana

Ph.D (English Literature)

TUFTS University, USA

[email protected]

Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) is one

of the younger faculties of UCP. Established in

2009, FASS not only teaches degree programs

at graduate and undergraduate level in Arts

and Humanities, but also provides support

across faculties in teaching language,

humanities and social sciences courses.

A conscious effort is made to make curriculum,

taught in various programs, contemporary and

at the same time challenging to foster a spirit of

critical inquiry, an urge to discover, to learn, and

to reflect on issues facing humanity

perennially. Although study of liberal arts and

social sciences is given a lot of importance in

higher education all over the world, students in

Pakistan are usually ambivalent about earning

a degree in arts and social sciences subjects.

They think that a degree in social sciences

hampers their job prospects and does not

develop skills and attitudes needed for success

in professional paths they choose in their lives.

To dispel such misconceptions, we have

devised curriculum which is contemporary in

course selection, a learning environment which

is interactive and robust, all to ensure that

students acquire well developed

communication and interpretive skills, a habit

for independent thinking, and a sense of

personal and professional responsibility that

employers look for potential candidates ready

to serve in today’s job market.

Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences currently

comprises four departments, Department of

Islamic studies, Department of Psychology,

Department of Economics and Finance, and

Department of English.

Department of Islamic Studies was established

first which aims at producing religious scholars

who are enlightened, open to free inquiry,

tolerant and eclectic in their understanding

and interpretation of the teachings of Islam by

seeking guidance directly from the Quran and

155



Sunnah. Department of Islamic Studies offers

BS (Honors) Islamic studies, and MA in Islamic

Studies.

To broaden the sphere of studies and program

offerings, FASS has recently added Department

of Economics, Department of English, and

Department of Psychology; all offer a Bachelor

of Science (Honors) degree in their respective

subjects. A number of Majors and Minors are

offered to cater to diverse interests and

professional ambitions of students. Students

are allowed to choose courses and devise

combinations of majors and minors which are

most relevant to them, while still enjoying a

degree which falls under HEC guidelines.

We invite you to visit and interact with our

faculty and students in the department. You

will be happy that you have made a choice to

study in a program that gives you the

opportunity to reflect upon and discuss issues

that are of great importance not just to

Pakistan, but the rest of the world as well. This

degree would lead you to the new horizons.Whether you choose to make a career in media,

civil services, NGOs, education, business and

industry etc., or you choose to go for higher

studies, your choices are limitless with a degree

in social sciences.

FASS - Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences



There is a growing need throughout the world

and especially in our country for Islamic

scholars who know their religion and the

world equally well. They should be proficient

in both Arabic and English languages, are

open-minded and should not blindly attach

themselves to any one school of thought.

Department of Islamic and Religious Studies

offers degree programs in Islamic Studies

with the objective to produce scholars who

are capable of understanding and analytically

examining the original sources of Islam and

contemporary discipline. They should be

equipped with scholarly knowledge for

guiding Muslims effectively and presenting

the correct understanding of Islam to non-Muslims.

Department of Islamic Studies was

established first in Faculty of Arts & Social

Sciences which aims at producing religious

scholars who are enlightened, open to free

inquiry, tolerant and eclectic in their

understanding and interpretation of the

teachings of Islam by seeking guidance

directly from the Quran and Sunnah.

To become a scholar, a student (along withdoing his/her normal courses), will have to

opt for the following route of courses: BS, MS

and PhD. After the completion of these

courses, the student will be awarded the

degree of CSICS (Certified Scholar in Islamic

and Contemporary Sciences). A CSICS is an

authentic Islamic scholar possessing sound

understanding of Islam and the

contemporary world.

Our Vision is to launch an educational

movement that would promote independent

and honest thinking on religion by seeking

guidance directly from the Qur’an and

Sunnah leading to the right behavior

amongst the scholars, academics and the

common people of the Muslim Ummah.

Our Values• Freedom to think, express and research.

• Transparency of processes.

• Clear communication of information and

ideas.

• Honest consideration of other views and

respect for them.

• Respect for local, cultural and religiousvalues.

Opportunities

• In professional educational institutes for

teaching Islam and ethics.

• In schools and colleges for teaching

Religious Studies and Arabic.

• In Mosques and Islamic Centers of the

Western countries and Pakistan.

• In Islamic banks, print and electronic media

• In Arab countries.

• In CSS and PMS exams.


invite you to visit and explore the possibility

of joining the exciting opportunity of learning

that we are offering.

Dr. Asir AjmalHead of DepartmentDr. Asir Ajmal is a Professor and Head of the Psychology Department in the Faculty of Arts & Social

Sciences. He obtained his Doctorate from Dartmouth College, USA and got his clinical training in

England. He has a broad range of work experience of nearly 30 Years including teaching in the US,

working as clinical psychologist in the UK and as a teacher educator in Pakistan. Before joining UCP,

he headed the Psychology Department at Government College University Lahore. Dr. Asir Ajmal has

Psychological Aspects of Diabetes, Experience of growing left-handed in Pakistan, Psychology and

scholarly publications to his credit.

Psychology is increasingly being recognized

as one of the most important disciplines not

only in the fields of business, management

and economic decision making, but also

among the entire body of Social Sciences.Recently, the Nobel Prize for Economics went

to a psychologist who had devoted his

academic career to discovering as to how

people make financial decisions. National

education data shows that psychology is

among the most popular disciplines in

Pakistan. At the moment, there are thousands

of psychology graduates without too many

opportunities for post-graduate education or

specialization. The Psychology Department at

UCP seeks to meet the needs of these

students while also being sensitive to the

needs of the job market.

In addition to catering for the needs of

psychology graduates, the Psychology

Department strives to meet the needs of

industry as well, which at the moment is

plagued by demoralization and

de-motivation. This year we plan to launch

several psychology-based training programs

for people in industry, business andmanagement to help improve their

performance and career prospects. We will

hold special certificate courses and

workshops for HR professionals so that they

can perform better in their personal and

professional capacity. Workshops on Time

Management and Stress Management will

also be held for professionals from different

fields.

We also equip students in other faculties with

basic knowledge of psychology by offeringcertain introductory level courses. This

practice will continue this year with an effort

to rationalize and standardize the input

provided by the department.

Dr. Bashir AhmadHead of Department, EconomicsDr. Bashir Ahmad is a Professor and Head of the Department of Economics in the Faculty of Arts and

Social Sciences. He obtained his doctoral degree from Michigan State University, USA. He has a vast

experience of around 50 years, working in various public and private sector organizations of

Pakistan, including Punjab Public Service Commission, Punjab Planning and Development

Department, and Government College University, Lahore. Dr. Bashir has a strong research interest in

the area of Farm Mechanization and Agricultural Development. He has written various research

articles for renowned national and international journals, conferences and symposiums.

The critical role of the subject of Economics and

the economists in identification of and

suggesting remedial measures for the multiple

problems hindering the socio-economic growth

of the various societies, is very well recognized

not only in Pakistan but all over the world. Thedepartment of Economics was, therefore, started

from the very beginning of the UCP for teaching

the subjects of Microeconomics, Macroeconomics,

Economic Analysis and Managerial Economics to

support the BBA and MBA programs of faculty of

management studies.

In pursuance of our long-term vision, however, BS

(Hons) Economics and Finance was launched in

FASS in Fall 2011. Continuing our progressive

approach, in accordance with our vision, a

separate and independent Economics

Department has been established in the FASS in

Fall 2012. This department has prepared

programs for higher education in Economics

covering MS, M.Phil and PhD in Economics. These

programs have been approved by the competent

authority.

However, MS/M.Phil Program will be started from

Fall 2013 followed by PhD in later semesters. The

graduate scholars of our MS/M.Phil and PhD

programs will be available for jobs in the public

and private sector; specifically, teaching and

research institutions, banking sector, variousministries/ departments of Planning and

Development, Finance, Commerce etc.

Furthermore, they can start their own business in

different economic sectors and professional

organizations of Management, Accountancy,

Consultancy, Insurance , Corporate sector etc.

At its present stage of development, Pakistan is

facing multiple constraints in the way of its

economic growth. One of the most serious

bottlenecks is lack of high level professionals

having command over knowledge and

application in various areas of development,

particularly in policy making, its implementation

and evaluation. Even teaching, research and

normal operations of the various institutions in

the public and private sector suffer due to their

inadequacy.

MS/M.Phil (Economics) is a research based 18

years degree program (leading to PhD),

intended to investigate and discover solutions

to national and international issues. Two factorscontribute to the high quality of research and

training of our students: one is strong

foundation in basic topics of economics; the

other is to create a research-led environment

where students work alongside leading

researchers to develop the skills required to

become professional economists, researchers

and analysts. Every M.Phil student completing

his/her coursework has to write a thesis of six

credit hours in the final semester. For MS

(Economics) required research credit hours (6)

can be converted into 2 courses of 3 credit

hours each.

Program ObjectivesAt its present stage of development, Pakistan is

facing multiple constraints in its progress in

economic growth. One of the most serious

bottle necks is lack of high level professionals

having command over knowledge and

application in various areas of development;

particularly, in policy making, its

implementation and evaluation. Even teaching

research and normal operations of the various

institutions in the public and private sector

suffer due to their inadequacy.

Foreign sources of training are becominginaccessible for most people due to their high

cost and limited admission capacity.

Furthermore, local research is required for real

understanding and solution of our national,

economic problems. We shall, therefore, have

to produce the desired professionals locally. To

achieve this objective, the MS and PhD

programs in Economics are being launched in

the UCP.

Career Scopes/ Opportunities The output of the MS and PhD programs will be

available for jobs in the public and private

sector, teaching and research institutions,

banking sector, various ministries at the federal

and provincial level, particularly the

ministries/departments of planning and

development, finance, commerce, etc.

Furthermore, they can start their own careers in

different economic sectors and professional

places of Management, Accountancy,

Consultancy, Insurance, Corporate Sector, etc.
