About Hamdard University Islamabad Campus
Hamdard University Islamabad is the federal capital campus of Hamdard University, the private sector degree-awarding institution established by the Hamdard Foundation Pakistan — founded by the legendary Hakim Muhammad Said, one of Pakistan's most celebrated philanthropists, scholars, and advocates of Unani (Eastern) medicine. The Islamabad campus was established to extend Hamdard's education mission to the students of Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and northern Pakistan, offering the same pharmacy, health sciences, and management programmes that have made the Karachi main campus nationally recognised. Hamdard University is fully recognised by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan.
The Islamabad campus offers programmes including PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy), BPharm, BS Computer Science, BBA, and related health sciences programmes. PharmD and BPharm students follow the HEC 4.0 semester-based GPA scale. The Islamabad campus location gives students access to Islamabad's federal government institutions, PIMS (Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences), and the Capital Hospital for clinical rotations during their PharmD training. Proximity to Rawalpindi's large pharmaceutical manufacturing zone also creates industry linkage opportunities for pharmacy graduates.
The Hamdard Foundation's philosophy of khidmat-e-khalq (service to humanity) infuses the university's culture. This ethos is especially meaningful for pharmacy and health sciences students, who are trained not only in technical pharmaceutical skills but also in the ethical dimensions of patient care, public health service, and responsible pharmaceutical practice. All semester-based programmes at Hamdard Islamabad use the HEC 4.0 grading scale.
