The Dubai campus is the only Pakistani institute of higher education based in U.A.E that has been serving the Pakistani community since 2003.

“We will give science and technology requirements the highest priority and our attention. To implement any program of scientific and technological development, the country needs to train scientific manpower. In this, the schools, colleges and universities have to play their role. I desire that vast number of people of Pakistan should acquire technological skills. I want first-class science in Pakistan because nothing less is acceptable. And I wish Pakistan to be increasingly self-reliant in all aspects of technology.”

Address at the Inauguration Ceremony of Karachi Nuclear Power Plant, Karachi, Pakistan, November 28, 1972.

“Technology and Communication have changed our world and are influencing a global culture. The ability to google information from anywhere in the world puts technology into the hands of even the most isolated rural communities in the developing world. The more people learn, the more they want to learn. The more they interact, the less likely they will be to fear the unknown. Just as democracy and educational exchange promote peace, the free flow of modern technology and communication promote peace.”
