Islamabad
\nThe achievements of its students in Pakistan are being celebrated in an international campaign from the University of London, a prestigious UK based University which specialises in online and distance learning.
\nThe campaign features alumni and current students who are unlocking their potential by studying through the University of London while remaining here in Pakistan.
\nCalled \u2018Join the Worldclass\u2019, the campaign features the words, real-life stories and experiences of the students and graduates themselves and highlights the life-changing power that access to high quality higher education can offer. By choosing to study with the University of London, students join a global community of scholars, a \u2018world class\u2019, made up of 40,000 students in 190 countries who are all studying for their University of London degree while staying in their home country.
\nLooqman Khan is enrolled in his third year of LLB honours at Denning. He chose Denning because of the quality of education they provide, and is also attached to the law firm of a colleague:
\n\u201cIn the morning, I go to my work, and in the evening, I have my classes at Denning. I live in Malir, and we have got amazing roads for cycling, so I go cycling in my spare time. The major benefit I see with the teaching centre is that we are totally engaged with teachers. There is no time barrier with teachers. We are always connected with teachers. Whenever we want to avail the time with them, we can have it.\u201d Inaya Danish is a third-year student on the University of London LLB programme at Szabist. She says she chose the programme because she doesn\u2019t see law as a career path but as a passion:
\n\u201cEver since the earliest dreams of my future, I have always envisioned myself as a lawyer. Even in home videos from when I was young, I would always proudly say that \u2018when I grow up, I want to be a lawyer\u2019.
\n\u201cSo, when the time came for me to choose a programme, the University of London LLB program caught my attention. I compared it to the programmes in my country, and I learned that the University of London programme would provide me with a comprehensive understanding of the law in a short amount of time. The determining factor for me was that I could pursue this programme without leaving my country and my family behind. So, it felt as if everything was falling into place for me, and this programme was the perfect fit.\u201d
\nThe University of London\u2019s online and distance learning models ensure that students can pursue prestigious international degrees, either through fully online independent study or a more structured learning experience with face-to-face support, while studying at their own pace from wherever they are in the world. The face-to-face support is provided through a network of Regional Teaching Centres. The University of London has been working with partners in Pakistan since 2002 and has forged strong links with 18 Recognised Teaching Centres across the country.
\nUniversity of London Vice-Chancellor, Wendy Thomson CBE said:
\n\u201cAt the University of London, we are very proud of our students and alumni in Pakistan. Through this campaign we are sharing their stories and celebrating their achievements. We hope to inspire everyone who is interested in higher education to pursue their ambitions and reach their potential and consider choosing to study with the University of London. By studying our internationally recognised, flexible programmes, our students can study with a prestigious, UK based university while staying at home in Pakistan.\u201d
\nIn a further demonstration of the strong links between Pakistan and the University of London, Professor Mary Stiasny OBE – the University\u2019s Pro Vice-Chancellor \u2013 is currently visiting Lahore and Karachi for the University\u2019s announcement of the establishment of a new award, the Mary Stiasny Scholarship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
