In a landmark development for higher education, four leading universities from the United Kingdom are set to establish campuses in Punjab. The initiative aims to provide world-class education opportunities within the province, reducing the need for students to travel abroad for quality learning.
According to officials, the move will not only enhance academic collaboration between Pakistan and the UK but also promote research, innovation, and economic development in the region. The campuses are expected to introduce internationally recognized degree programs in diverse fields including science, technology, business, and social sciences.
Punjab’s government welcomed the decision, calling it a “transformative step” that will expand access to global-standard education and create new opportunities for youth. The universities are likely to begin operations in phases, with admissions expected to open in the coming years.
