to building networks stretching far beyond major institutions
to include entrepreneurs, investors, professionals and

unique component of the MS HRM program at NBS will be optional for students. Those who prefer to enter the industry as HR
professionals can benefit from this component while the students who chose to pursue a career in research or academics may
choose to undertake an elective course instead. The MS HRM degree is a broad-based programme that offers both functional
level (e.g. performance management and recruitment and selection) and broader-thematic level (strategic / international HRM
and Seminar in HRM) courses. The aim is to cultivate both breadth and depth in the knowledge base of the students. The
broader-thematic courses will enhance the prospects of our prospective graduates to seek jobs in the international market
and the functional level courses will appeal to the returning who are currently performing specialist jobs in HR functions of
organizations but do not possess the relevant qualifications.
Associated Careers
Graduates with an MS HRM degree will, as HR specialists, be able to effectively propose and implement home-grown solutions to the HR
problems of our domestic industry. They will be able to attract a host of jobs in the industry including management, advisory and specialist
level positions. These include but are not limited to managing core HR functions such as staffing, T&D, designing and managing pay
structures, understating industrial relations through labour laws, personnel administration and career development specialists. In addition,
the breadth of courses offered, the industry practicum and exposure to latest international research in the area will adequately prepare
them to compete in the international labour market.

The Centre for Executive Development is dedicated to transforming business executives into world class leaders. The executive
development programmes include Executive MBA and professional certificates in various disciplines related to business
management.
Three Building Blocks of Executive Education

Leadership development is our ultimate objective. We believe that organisational success is determined by an individuals ability
to positively influence others and this philosophy is at the heart of our entire executive education programme.
Teamwork is working together, even when apart. We focus on teaching how to harness individual ambition, expertise and energy
to create, lead and become a part of dynamic teams.
Creative Thinking is a vital skill in todays atmosphere of changing economic patterns, competitive marketplace,
uncertainty and conflicting opinions. We support and build the capacity of our students to think creatively in the midst of
balancing acceptable risks and organisational priorities.
Learn at your own pace

Our EMBA programme is designed to offer flexible learning to busy professionals and entrepreneurs and suited to their personal
and professional commitments. Classes take place during week day evenings. One can register in as many courses during a
semester as one finds convenient and complete EMBA at a comfortable pace.
EMBA Programme Description

The EMBA programme is designed for middle to senior level working professionals who are ready to take the next step in their
careers. The EMBA programme is more than an opportunity to gain or improve a particular skill. It helps evolve your experience
into an expertise that propels you to the next level in your career and within your organisation.
The candidates must possess 14 years of prior education and minimum work experience of 04 years. Teaching methodology is
based on class lectures, case studies, assignments and individual or group projects. The rigorous curriculum at NBS is designed
specifically for experienced executives. It focuses into the complex business issues faced by seasoned managers. The Executive
MBA programme facilitates team-based learning by having students take all of their classes with a cohort of peers from diverse
backgrounds, functions and industries. They are assigned projects from which they will benefit from the collective work
experience of their classmates and are able to immediately apply their classroom learning at their workplaces.
Class Timings
The classes are held on weekday evenings to facilitate working professionals.
Faculty
Our faculty members are not only well-versed in modern management techniques and strategic thinking, but they also excel in
transferring their skills and experiences into their teaching methodologies. The faculty undertakes consulting assignments with
reputed corporate organisations, thereby forging industry linkages and enriching their experience for the benefit of NUST and
its students. We have more than 30 full-time teaching staff supplemented by visiting faculty; guest lecturers, and meticulously
chosen specialists drawn right from the heart of the industry to share their experiences of the latest industry challenges and
dynamics.
Curriculum
Theories and concepts help solve real world problems only when they are illustrated by practical corporate world insights.
The EMBA curriculum is designed around this idea and provides you with the rigour and relevance you need to become a top
performer in your organisation. The curriculum is based upon the above three strategic components i.e. Leadership, Teamwork
and Creative Thinking of executive education. Specialisations from three major areas; Business Management; Human Resource,
Marketing and Finance are offered along with minimal core courses.

been established with a view to enhancing the knowledge database. The information resource centre has books on
various disciplines including Economics, Human Resource Management, International Business and Marketing,
Operations and Technology Management, Information Technology and E-commerce.

Research and Development
NUST Public Policy Research Centre (NPPRC), a centre of excellence in its own right, is a constituent body of
NUST Business School. The Centre works for the progress and development of academic research at NBS, and is
instrumental in strengthening its policy relevance in order to bridge the apparent gap between the two. NPPRC is
an independent research and education-cum-training centre engaged in conducting high quality theoretical and
empirical research to shape public policy by integrating knowledge and methods across the management and
social science disciplines. It knits academic researchers, planners and implementers in public and private sectors.
Besides research, the researchers at NPPRC are also skilled in areas such as development of performance
indicators for monitoring and evaluation, networking and leveraging, preparing training modules and serving as
master trainers on various aspects of public policy issues.
Independent and Collaborative Research

Independent and joint research is highly rewarding for an

academic institution. Apart from inculcating a wholesome
competitive spirit in the faculty, NPPRC provides NBS faculty Research Publications 2011

interaction was long envisaged between NBS faculty and the
staff of wide-ranging public, private or multilateral institutions.
NPPRC now takes care of this need by providing the required
base for cooperating and coordinating with external
stakeholders.
Education and Training

To develop their human capital, many public and private sector
organisations impart training and re-training to their
employees. To achieve better output, the importance of
networking and leveraging cannot be overemphasised.
One of the objectives of NPPRC is to develop standard and
custom-made courses for its collaborating partners and afford
NBS faculty opportunities to groom themselves into highly
sought-after resource persons, capable of adding value to the
organisation.
NPPRC and Pakistan Institute of Trade and Development

(PITAD) are the two leading partners in this process. NBS
is credited with preparing not only the training module on
Pakistan Economy for the participants from Commerce and
Trade Group, but also for the successful delivery of an
18-module course to the participants during November 2008
and June 2009. The second undertaking started in November
2009.
With similar zeal, NPPRC is pursuing the publication of

research activities. The first two volumes of NUST Journal of
Business and Economics (NJBE) have already been published
and disseminated. NJBE is a refereed journal complying with
HEC guidelines. The suitability of the submitted article for
publication is determined after the clearance of its contents
through anti-plagiarism software, and is subject to the
recommendation of two referees. The third volume of NJBE is
currently being prepared and is expected to come out shortly.
Department of Behavioral Sciences

The Department of Behavioral Science (DBS) was created in response to the need for an interdisciplinary training program
at NUST. The field of Behavioral Sciences aims at understanding how human beings think and behave as individuals in
different ecological and socio-cultural settings. The core disciplines that contribute to Behavioral Science include Psychology,
Anthropology, and Sociology, but many other disciplines also play an important role, such as the behavioral aspects of biology,
economics, geography, law and political science.
At present, we are exploring how we can create a bridge between field of Behavioral Sciences and other disciplines at
NUST, therefore inputs from field of Behavioral Sciences can be used to maximize outputs from other fields like Mechanical
Engineering, Information Technology, Medical Sciences, Media Sciences, Art and Architecture. The interdisciplinary research
and practice can be one way to achieve the objectives, however, there is lot more needed to be done to enable scientists
and practitioners from different disciplines to learn from each others languages, attend the resonances that separate their
sciences, and develop new conceptual frameworks across their disciplinary boundaries. The Department of Behavioral Sciences
(DBS) at NUST understands its importance and looks forward to find ways for continuous improvement in specialized courses,
interdisciplinary research activities and publications. The aim is to build a learning community that invites students and scholars
from different disciplines and work on collaborative projects to make valuable contributions for the community at large.
MS in Clinical Psychology
The Department of Behavioral Sciences currently offers post graduate program in Clinical Psychology with an aspiration to
enhance expertise of existing and future psychologist through a curriculum that integrates scientific knowledge with professional
skills and attitudes necessary to function both in academic and applied setting.
The program at DBS NUST focuses on both specialized individual care and community approach to equip the graduating trainees
in both clinical and community settings. The rationale of the program is to bridge the gap between academia and services by
offering training in Clinical Psychology to produce professionals who can work with the spirit of innovation and creativity to
implement evidence based practices in mental health domain.
One distinctive feature of the Department of Behavioral Sciences at NUST is the community mental health orientation i.e. we
plan to offer two tracks of specialization in its MS and PhD training i.e. Clinical and Clinical Community. At DBS, the Clinical track
offers specialization in individual adult and child psycho-diagnostics and assessments; and Clinical Community track would
focus on Interventions in community settings for both behavioral and emotional issues and foster resilience among the at-risk
segments of society. Our focus is on individuals and communities, and the relationship between the two. In addition, mental
health practitioners who graduate from DBS will demonstrate qualities of leadership, professionalism, critical thinking and
empathy. Our goal is to prepare a team of mental health practitioners who are capable enough to establish services and adjunct
facilities for improving mental health of children, adolescents and adults.

Important Courses
The course content has well over 50% of its credits spent in the Architecture Design Studio as the prime learning location. It
covers courses such as History, Landscape, Technical Drawings, Structures and Planning which will provide sound support to the
Architecture Design Studios.
Unique Features
This programme will focus on developing cognitive and conceptual approach of the students towards problem-solving to give
them a sound base in techniques, aesthetics and the science of architecture. The programme recognises that studio teaching
and learning is of paramount importance in creation of a learning environment for Architects. Around this, all the other courses
will be focused and will provide support for it. Architecture deals with interdisciplinary issues from other sources which are
recognised here. The well-equipped library will also encourage the spirit of inquiry in the students. The model-making workshop
will enable them experience three dimensional forms and their manipulation. One of the endeavours of the department is to
provide a place for a practical design studio in which the faculty could practice, and the students could intern, thus bridging the
gap between theory and practice.
Associated Careers
After successful completion of 181 credits of B Arch programme and time spent in internship, the students will be able to secure
jobs in the private or public sectors. The School will help the students in placements after completion of the B Arch programme.

Ban Ki-moon (Secretary-General of the United Nations)

UN Secretary-General inaugurated CIPS on 13
August 2013. This much-anticipated event was an
excellent opportunity for Pakistan to highlight its
peacekeeping contributions to the UN. The event
was largely attended by members of diplomatic
corps, academics from the leading universities,
representatives of local think tanks, government
institutes, UN agencies, civil society and the
media. Former peacekeepers both soldiers and
police officers also attended the function.
The Chief Guest in his inaugural address lauded
the services of Pakistani peacekeepers and
appreciated the establishment of an institute to
train the future crop of peacekeepers in line with the emerging trends and challenges. He said:
I know this Centre will focus on gaining deeper understanding of the threats to peace and the sources of
instability. I applaud your efforts to establish a Department of Peace and promote peace education. Around the
world, we must do more to take on the drivers of conflict, including oppression, exclusion and inequality.
After the opening address, the Chief Guest met the participants of the UN peacekeeping training, and took a
round of the photo exhibition covering the activities of the Pakistani peacekeepers over the years.
PhD in Peace and Conflict Studies (PCS)
The basic purpose of establishing CIPS was to run a hybrid program combining the basic courses in peacekeeping with graduate
programs in International Relations (IR) and PCS. This was to cover the existing dearth of hands on training and shortage of
serious scholarship in this field. Therefore, this is just the next step in fulfilling the vision of this Centre. CIPS has a head start by
receiving international recognition through its high profile inauguration and its well-attended international seminar in October. It
now wants to build up on this initial promise by launching its graduate programs. The PCS program will embellish the credentials
of CIPS as a serious research oriented institution and help build networks with national, regional and international organizations
for conducting joint research in the areas of peacekeeping, peace building and conflict resolution. In this manner, it will create
a niche for itself in the global market as a credible engine for research on not only issues related to peacekeeping but also for
resolving political and non-political conflicts.
The objective of PCS program, at the PhD level would be to train students in understanding the causes of conflicts and the
possibilities of exploring peaceful and nonviolent solutions to problems. This would require both theoretical and practical
understanding of conflict resolution with lessons from around the world. The products of the CIPS PCS programs will be potential
troubleshooters in conflict areas within the society, industry and within the comity of nations.
It will be a multifaceted program encouraging investigations into local, regional and international conflicts. Domestically it will
be designed to produce studies on serious issues afflicting our society like radicalism, terrorism, separatism, ethnic-nationalism,
parochialism etc. Internationally it will cover issues such as peacekeeping, peace building and conflict resolution in areas wracked
by internal and external wars, famine and poverty. The purpose would be to find timely remedies via policymaking.
Thematically, there will be equal focus on traditional and non-traditional security for studying direct and indirect sources
of conflicts. Considering the scope and vision of CIPS, PhD students will be directed to focus their research on identifying
important steps towards an environment of sustainable peace that comprises of creating security space (peacekeeping), creating
humanitarian space, and creating political space. In doing so, they will endeavor to find a common link between peacekeeping,
peacemaking and peace building.
PCS will also serve as an intellectual sounding board for governmental policy planners to facilitate them in preparing their locus
standi for articulation at international forums, such as the UN and affiliated international agencies. It will also help officials to
sharpen their negotiation skills on technical and legal issues, for instance climate change.
For PCS graduates, there is a huge job market within the international and local development agencies operating in Pakistan like
Deutsche Gesellschaftf Internationale Zusammenarbeit (German Society for International Cooperation), Japanese International
Cooperation Agency (JICA), Swiss Agency of Development Cooperation (SDC), Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES), Search for Common
Ground (SFCG), US Agency for International Development (USAID), US Institute of Peace (USIP) etc. International agencies are
likely to focus on the causes of conflict in the region in the foreseeable future and would This is because certain changes have

happened in the development sectors and now almost all Western organizations are liable to make use of conflict sensitive

project planning while working in conflict and fragile states.There is also a shortage of highly qualified graduates in the field

CIPS to become center of excellence and a recognized think tank on issues of peace and conflict at the national, regional and
international level.
