BNU prides itself in counting amongst its faculty visionary pedagogues, many renowned artists and designers, seasoned curators, international development experts, authors with published research and established practices, cutting across geo-cultural boundaries, and in sync with globally prevailing ideas and narratives.

The campus is purpose-built under the authorship of the internationally acclaimed architectural firm, Nayyar Ali Dada Associates.

We are proud to highlight the international journey of Rao Usama, an undergraduate student from the School of Computer & IT (SCIT). With the support of the BNU Office of Academic Partnerships, Usama recently participated in an exchange program at Yaşar University, Turkey.

Reflecting on his experience, Usama shared:

“Nobody tells you that a semester abroad does not just change where you are - It also changes who you are.

Studying in Türkiye as an exchange student has been one of the best decisions of my life. Izmir surprised me. I expected Turkey but got something closer to Europe — modern, coastal, and full of energy. The city has a vibe that is hard to describe until you actually live in it.

Turks are genuinely warm and welcoming, especially towards Pakistanis. I arrived at Yaşar University not knowing a single person. By the next day, I knew everyone. That says everything about the kind of environment this place has.

Yaşar University has been great academically, too. Strong education, amazing extracurriculars, and an environment that pushes you to grow in every direction.

I am grateful to my university for this opportunity. I would like to sincerely thank my entire faculty of SCIT, and especially Sir Umar Imam and Sir Nabeel, who played a huge role in making this possible for me. Their support and guidance throughout the process meant more than I can put into words. This semester has shaped me in ways I will carry long after I return home.”

Reflecting on her experience, Aroob shared:

Beyond academics, this experience has been deeply transformative, helping me grow both personally and professionally while broadening my understanding of the global media landscape. I am sincerely grateful to my HOD, Ms. Rabia Noor, for her constant support and guidance throughout this journey, and to the Academic Partnerships Office for making this opportunity possible.

We are proud to highlight the international journey of Syed Awab, an undergraduate student from the School of Management Sciences (SMS). With the support of the BNU Office of Academic Partnerships, Awab recently participated in the 2+1 Program at Rennes School of Business, France.

Reflecting on his experience, Awab shared:

"Going on a degree pathway program from BNU to Rennes School of Business, France, was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had. After spending two years at BNU, I had the opportunity to complete my final year in Rennes, where I will also receive my diploma. Living in France made it even better; the lifestyle, the culture, the food, and even the pace of life were all amazing. Rennes is such a student-friendly city, and it was easy to feel comfortable and settled there.

At first, moving abroad and adapting to a new system felt a bit intimidating, but it quickly turned into something really exciting. I met people from all over the world, improved my independence, and became much more open-minded. Academically, it was also interesting to experience a different teaching style.

The Office of Academic Partnerships was really helpful throughout the whole process. They were always easy to reach and ready to help whenever I had questions. They make everything much easier to understand.

I’d really encourage anyone to take this opportunity, especially in France. It’s not just about studying it’s about enjoying a whole new way of life, and it’s something you’ll always remember."
