University of the Punjab.

The principal vision of the School of Physical Sciences includes continuous improvement of the quality of scientific research, the development of innovative curricula and techniques based on research and the latest scientific developments. Ahead, recognition of the institution and greater international visibility as well as the increasing impact on the development of the economy and society as a whole are foreseen. Taking into account the recent restructuring of the school, a special emphasis will be put on the academia-industry collaboration.

The School of Physical Sciences offers two main research-based degrees i.e. M.Phil/Ph.D. in Industrial Chemistry and Optics and Photonics, which lie at the core of scientific and technical disciplines. The school has a two-fold mission to provide students a wide range of outstanding learning experience by gaining which they could develop strong analytical, quantitative and problem solving skills, and to foster cutting-edge research that expands the horizons of science and technology. SPS aims at engaging the students and serving the society through excellence in teaching, high-quality research, and dedicated outreach.
