campus of the university is situated in sector H-8, Islamabad. It
was the second open university of the world and the first of its
kind in Asia and Africa. The aim of establishing AIOU was to
provide affordable and accessible education through distance

continue their education journey through formal system of
education. The University (AIOU) operates on semester system
and admits students in Autumn and Spring semesters. Under
graduate admissions are offered in both the semester where as
post graduates are offered once a year. The enrolled students are
given course books specially prepared by the university on self
instructional principles. However at post graduate level reprints
of foreign books, allied material with university prepared study
guides help students to polish their skills.
At present, the AIOU is offering programs from matric to PhD
level in diverse, disciplines comprises of four faculties. The
university has established study centres across the country,
