Lahore, December 01, 2021 (PPI-OT):One of the key factors that top-ranking agencies of the world rate a university and its impact on the wider community is the culture of research prevalent therein. A university like MIT or Harvard where faculty research output is high will always remain and be considered head and shoulders above the rest, making research an important cornerstone of educational advancement.

Since its inception, the University of Management and Technology has always remained cognizant of the importance of research and has been endeavouring tirelessly to create an educational environment centered on research. This has been the reason that the university has always sought to build a faculty consisting of international as well as national academics and scholars with backgrounds in research who can help the varsity become a citadel of research and innovation.

Recently, UMT crossed an important milestone in this regard when the strength of its Ph.D. faculty crossed the 250 mark. The feat represents the university’s continued efforts towards becoming the premier higher education research institution in the country. It is only with a pool of distinguished scholars and academics rooted in research that a university can truly aspire towards creating a culture that is based on research, generates new knowledge and learning, offers solutions to emerging challenges, and inspires the coming generations to think beyond what appears humanly possible.
