Greenwich University is the child of a dream aiming at dimensional
expansion with enrichment. It belongs to the same process that started at the dawn of the
recorded history with hunger for knowledge. This was essentially linked to the aridity and
the cave surroundings spurring the need for food as well as the search for how to sustain
the becoming — the being — and this was the origin of the flash-point in the
endless urge in man for the advancement of creativity and its innovation. The past has
been a long — long — march. To-day, we are on the doorstep of new finds, new
wonders.
These things are impacting the imagination of the business
administrators everywhere: they are projecting leap-frogging encapsuling the requirements
and the conventional formalities of the time-machine bottomlining the targetted
achievements. The ruthless spirit of activity and progress in the business world is
developing phenomenally. This trend is taking every advantage of the gifts of the
continuing progress in science and technology.
Our entrepreneurs have to engineer and design, at stages of their
business conduct against globalisation perspective, masterminding for opening many tunnel
ends. They can see how their colleagues elsewhere are using different gifts of technology
like internet.
Founded over a decade ago Greenwich has become synonymous with
excellence in the field of Business Management studies not only in Pakistan but also
abroad. Faced with a rapidly expanding number of establishments purporting to offer
extensive programs leading to nebulous qualifications, Greenwich stands out as a premier
tertiary educational institution of quality and integrity. The business world today even
more so in the future requires a constant input of highly trained and motivated people who
are able to respond quickly and decisively to the needs of business, commerce, and the
higher echelons of administration. The field of management science has changed
dramatically during the past decade; and Greenwich has striven to keep pace with this
change by taking full advantage of the new technology and skills. This has been possible
only through the commitment of all associated with this dynamic and caring establishment.
Greenwich has always considered education a life-long endeavour, and
develops its programs to meet the needs of students from diverse academic backgrounds. To
assure continued success, Greenwich assesses the learning needs of the business community
and works to meet these needs through maintaining a unique campus atmosphere conducive to
teaching and learning. The programs seek to advance interpersonal skills, self-knowledge
and the ability to work logically. They develop skills in problem solving and oral and
written communications. In addition, the study and research methods and theory of cultural
environmental, social, political and eeonomic systems are encouraged. Greenwich prides
itself on being one of the few institutes of management studies to believe that a broad
liberal arts base is fundamental to intellectual growth.
All students coming to join the Greenwich family are carefully screened
before entry: for it is only by building on a strong academic base that the future success
can be forged. On entry, students are streamed and monitored so that any basic weaknesses
are identified and remedied whilst, at the same time, those academically stronger may
proceed at a quicker pace. Continuous evaluation during a semester based system ensures
each student is aware of his/her progress. No differentiation is made whether a student
has taken Intermediate or followed the Cambridge system.
MBA program and BS preparations of Greenwich University precisely aim
at making its boys and girls impeceably qualified — equipped — trained and
capable to encounter the breakneck raging rush on the rough seas. Their alma-mater just
can't want them to play second fiddles. It has made the necessary arrangements because it
is committed to provide them all the needed aids: the superbly qualified faculty, the
total computer facilities, the updated library, the modernized sports stadium, etc. They
find internship with leading business houses and multinationals immensely beneficial.
Already, a large number of Greenwichians are in substantive positions. Greenwich Alumni is
fittingly looking after the nourishment of a home atmosphere on the campus. Observing on
the University's location, a foreign visitor said, "The blue Arabian Sea waterfront
is delightfully nestling Greenwich against a thin line of a green patch".
Greenwich is firmly alive to the strident onrush of the beginning of
the 21st century which is going to impose on all students anywhere a revolutionized way of
life and terrible responsibilities. This will involve not only a change of discipline but
also a different style of plan and performance centrally directed toward a different
achievement of a different quality, measured against the meaning of timeframe. Galvanized
will then be the attitude toward the thus evolutionized way and quality of life.
Illimitably measureless gains may then be expected for the human good, particularly in the
economic sphere and the business world, if we can comprehend the implications of the role
of the new millennium Our entrepreneurs have to be an indissoluble part of the blood and
spirit of this millenniun. Greenwich University is absolutely conscious of the need to
reorganise its past arrangements to make appropriate adjustments for the fast changing
circumstances and requirements as a result of the necessity imposed by the millennium.
