A first-of-its-kind university in Pakistan, Habib University is a liberal arts and sciences university that offers an interdisciplinary education in an intensely collaborative learning environment. Habib University is currently collaborating with the Texas A&M University at Qatar and the Carnegie-Mellon University to equip students with knowledge and skills that will help them address the emerging challenges of the twenty-first century.
Building onto its existing collaborations, the new partnership with Stanford University will enable Habib University students to experience an unforgettable summer of personal and intellectual growth. It will expose them to an opportunity in which they will experience learning through a new perspective by becoming a part of the Stanford tradition. Speaking events, academic roundtables, and trips will let them take full advantage of all that Stanford and the Silicon Valley have to offer. This will also help our students in developing lasting bonds with Stanford University’s faculty, staff and peers.
