FCCU

Forman Christian College University (FCCU) is privileged to be old in years and traditions, but young in ideas and innovations. FCCU has been a pioneer in many fields. We were the first college in the region to form a Graduates' Association (1896), open a Biology department (1898), adopt co-education (1902), open a Technical Chemistry department (1919), and to start Geography classes (1924). Our innovative ideas are applicable to this day.

University Status: The decades since denationalisation in 2003, and becoming a chartered university in 2004, has provided FCCU ample opportunities to implement new ideas. A genuinely liberal arts education introduced in our Baccalaureate honours programme in 2004 gives undergraduates both depth and breadth of knowledge. It prepares them well for the next step in their lives, whether in jobs or further studies.

Merit Scholarships and Financial Assistance: Our merit scholarships and need-based financial assistance programme provides assistance to over 1,200 students and is also the means of ensuring that students from a wide range of backgrounds have the opportunity for an FCCU education. Teaching assistantships at the Postgraduate level allow more students to benefit from our generous financial assistance programme.

Blending Past and Future: This multi-layered education means that our graduates have been leaders in many fields - sciences, arts, judiciary, armed forces, civil service, medicine, business, etc - since our earliest days. New infrastructure means that students have access to the latest lab equipment and facilities.

Institutional grants and MoUs with industry and research institutions offer students the chance to work on the latest research in their fields. Old traditions also continue, with an on-campus Natural History Museum and Botanic Gardens. A reinvigorated association for alumni, many of whom have generations of Formanites in their families, is helping to raise the profile of the university as well as financially supporting FCCU graduates in their studies and future careers. We are proud of the legacy we have inherited and aware of the responsibility this places on us as educators of the youth of Pakistan.

FCCU has an impressive and well-maintained campus with all the facilities needed to create an environment that is truly academic and conducive to purposeful learning. Centrally located in a beautiful residential area of Lahore, the campus sprawls over 108 acres along the left bank of the canal.

Purpose-built buildings for university students provide modern state-of-the-art facilities while the 100,000 volume Ewing Memorial Library provides online and electronic reference services. Learning is not restricted to classrooms and many of the most important lessons learned during the university years are learned through participation in co-curricular and sports programmes. FCCU offers a great variety of programmes that provide opportunities for student to participate in activities that contribute to their learning and enjoyment.
