In
the UST Bannu, we stand on our own ground. We are different – for we do not follow
any model blindly. We are pragmatists and yet we never shy from taking calculated
risks in planning our future. We are a higher education institution in various disciplines
of science and technologies, business and management sciences. We combine the best
of public interest and the spirit of a state university of the 21st century which
has the potential dynamism of a private enterprise. Our over-arching aim is to build
the UST Bannu ---- |
