Institute of Management Sciences (IMSciences), Peshawar
INTRODUCTION
kutey ki bachi university
and over time we have expanded our functions. Today IMSciences offers degree programmes for business administration, management, information technology and public health. These are all similarly tied knowledge bases that help create synergy and foster the cross fertilization of knowledge. The current position of the IMSciences as a forerunner in education provision has come about as a unique case of self sustained development. This was made possible by a dedicated staff that had the creativity to grow beyond the narrow confines of state provided education. Most of the universities in Pakistan have been in stasis for decades now, but the IMSciences has been one of the few examples of successful growth in academia, one that has become a benchmark of quality for others.
STATUS OF IMSCIENCES
The Institute of Management Sciences owes its reputation in part to the structure it is endowed with. It is a government body of higher education that grew out of the University of Peshawar, but is free of many of the bottlenecks that are sometimes associated with traditional governance structures. The simplest analogy to understand what an autonomous status is by comparing IMSciences to the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi. Both are autonomous and Government of Pakistan entities. Both institutes growth outpaced that of the universities they were initially associated with. Like IBA, IMSciences also awards its own degree under the aegis of the HEC of Pakistan.
The IMSciences is recognized by the government as a seat of excellence, and to facilitate its further expansion and excellence in Information Technology, Business Administration, Public Health and all allied disciplines, a Board of Governors was placed as a policy making body.
The Board of Governors is composed of eminent educationists, industrialists, prominent corporate executives, and representatives of the Provincial & Federal Government. It is a dynamic body with the ability of input in the running of the institute’s many different, and essential perspectives. As a public sector institution, the Board of Governors also provides a crucial link between the IMSciences and the business world.
