The University College of Islamabad is an established independent college offering a range of diplomas, degree & post-graduate courses, and ACCA & CAT qualifications. These courses ultimately prepare the students for degree and postgraduate qualifications from the UK universities and professional bodies of international repute.

While many students may like to go to the UK for university education, the overall cost of such study is well beyond the means of the majority of families in Pakistan. The college's objectives are therefore, to provide quality education of high British standards;

• That is compatible with Pakistan education system and society,
• That is achievable and recognized in Pakistan,
• That is affordable for the people of Pakistan.

The motto of University College of Islamabad is based on ‘Carpe Diem’, a Latin proverb meaning ‘seize the opportunity’. The college pioneered the introduction of degree courses of the University of London, External Programme successfully in Pakistan. By introducing this programme the college has provided students with an opportunity to avail one of the best qualifications they can have had in Pakistan. The college is not only providing this opportunity to students but also is helping them in;

• providing an environment conducive for learning and personality development
• preparing them for a postgraduate degree anywhere in the world and assisting them in getting
   admission in national & international universities of repute,
• encouraging to excell in studies by offering scholarships and rewards and,
• gaining practical experience through internships and seeking jobs.
