Virtual University Rector's Message
Welcome to the Virtual University of Pakistan, where self-learning thrives in the digital era of virtual education. Congratulations on selecting us for your academic journey. Self-learning is a crucial skill for career growth or entrepreneurship, and the Virtual University of Pakistan equips you with the right tools to study at your own pace.
You will have access to video lectures from top educators in the country through TV and the Internet. Our Learning Management System (LMS) allows you to review lectures, engage in discussions with instructors and peers, and participate in academic activities with flexibility.
Virtual University ensures a structured learning environment similar to traditional classrooms. However, its content is accessible 24/7, making it truly “The University that never sleeps.” You can access lectures, study materials, quizzes, assignments, and exams anytime, without geographical barriers.
Established nearly 25 years ago by the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom, Virtual University was founded to provide quality education to all deserving students, regardless of location, using advanced ICT infrastructure. The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the global shift towards digital learning.
While many institutions have recently adopted online education, Virtual University has spent the last 20 years perfecting it. The university has developed a cutting-edge Virtual University Learning Management System (VULMS), an advanced online examination system, and various other features typically offered by traditional institutions.
Prepare for an enriching academic experience, as virtual education will help you become a self-reliant and responsible learner—an essential objective of higher education. The VULMS plays a pivotal role in virtual learning, encompassing all necessary tools required throughout your studies.
Mastering the functions of LMS is highly recommended, as it will simplify your learning process and help you set your study rhythm. Logging into LMS daily is vital, as the University communicates with students through it. Monitoring your progress will help you identify and address any academic weaknesses.
The university’s faculty is always available to support students in their virtual learning. You are encouraged to use LMS tools to interact with instructors, seek clarifications, and schedule meetings. Feel free to reach out to your teachers, though responses may take some time.
Virtual University has a diverse student body across Pakistan and actively organizes extracurricular activities such as sports, debates, and social events, including blood donation drives, charity initiatives, and environmental campaigns like Green Pakistan. These activities are integral to character building, and VU prioritizes them to foster responsible citizenship. Through active participation, students can contribute positively to society.
Finally, I extend my warmest welcome to all students and wish them success in their pursuit of higher education, emphasizing its significance in shaping their future.
