Dear Aspiring
HU LIONS,
You are about to embark on a new journey- one fraught with tough decisions about your future
plans, viable career paths and your need for intellectual growth. ‘Habib University’ is a unique,
high quality and first-of-its kind liberal arts & Sciences University, offering interdisciplinary
education in science, engineering, arts, humanities and social sciences. Committed to
providing the highest standards of excellence in higher education and envisioned to be an
intellectual nexus for the region, Habib University will develop the next generation of scholars
who will positively impact society.
The core of Habib University is built around the liberal model of education. A liberal education
prepares an individual for life. Habib graduates will possess expertise in their chosen majors,
but they will also possess unparalleled skills in thinking critically and analytically across
disciplines. They will be knowledgeable, thoughtful, entrepreneurial and dynamic – firm
stepping-stones for both the marketplace as well as graduate studies. And they will be
qualified not just to fill jobs in the present, but to shape jobs and opportunities for the future.
Current research suggests that undergraduate education is not about gaining mastery in one
discipline or acquiring applied vocational skills; instead, values, competencies and generic
skills that enable graduates to become innovators, entrepreneurs, problem-solvers,
independent learners, thinkers and above all compassionate citizens of this world are more
important outcomes of an effective undergraduate program. Habib University embraces this
philosophy and provides an interdisciplinary learning environment and engages students in a
rigorous learning process through intensive reading and writing, self-learning, team work, and
problem solving methods.
Habib University’s focus is on the liberal arts and sciences. Our well designed learning facilities,
innovative degree programs, exceptional global faculty, vibrant student life, thoughtfully
designed career-building initiatives and an extensive global network will all help you to harness
your true potential and acquire the critical skills needed to be leaders and entrepreneurs in your
respective fields.

Program. This program includes the following types of financial assistance:
Student Loans: Habib University offers need-based student loans with a
facilitative repayment plan. You will only be expected to start paying back your loan
six to twelve months after graduation. Habib University also offers work-study
programs that will allow you to pay off a portion of your loans during your four years
as a student. This program has been structured to ensure that loans will not
become a liability for those who avail this option.

application. Grants are subject to an annual review of a student’s financial
circumstances and do not need to be repaid.

A Valuable Investment for a Successful Future
The key factors determining the fee of a good institute include the quality of faculty, the student-teacher ratio, the
services and facilities provided to students, the teaching and learning methodologies used, and the research
activities in which faculty and students are engaged. Habib University has ensured the highest quality of all of these
factors to provide an exceptional learning environment to students and, as such, its tuition fee reflects the same.
