Something About Company
Beaconhouse National University (BNU) is Pakistan’s first not-for-profit Liberal Arts University, founded in 2003 to provide tertiary education in the arts, design, architecture, media, humanities and social sciences, business and information technology. BNU was awarded the degree awarding charter by the Government of the Punjab in 2005.
The institution was established through significant donations from a number of benefactors including the Kasuri family, the Dawood family, Dr. Parvez Hassan, Mr. Izzat Majeed and the Government of Punjab, to name a few.
BNU’s mission is to foster empowered and impactful global citizens in a diverse, socially sensitive, cross-disciplinary, liberal arts environment. BNU retains its identity as an apolitical, equal-opportunity, truly national higher-education institution, fast-emerging as a world-class Liberal Arts university. The undertakings are evident in the fostering of our perennial values of inclusiveness, participative leadership, comprehensive academic freedom and a merit-based recruitment and need-oriented admission policy at all levels of administrative operations and academic offerings.
It is our proclaimed resolve that no eligible student is ever turned away from our doors for reasons of affordability; hence we have instituted generous need and merit-based scholarship programs both for fresh and enrolled students.
The campus is spread over 35 acres conveniently accessible from all major localities of the city. The campus is purpose-built under the authorship of the internationally acclaimed architectural firm, Nayyar Ali Dada Associates. It has three large academic blocks, a library, an administration block, a multistorey cafeteria, volleyball and basketball courts, football and cricket fields and a secure and safe on-campus boarding facility for national and international students.
