The National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) has set up a Centre for Advanced Mathematics and Physics (CAMP) to conduct research and award research level degrees.
The centre was set up in the College of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering of NUST, Peshawar Road, and will start with developing the Ph. D programme in Mathematics, which will later be extended to include Theoretical Physics and later the rest of Physics.
Admissions will be made to the Ph.D. programme but there will be provision for people to exit the programme with a M.Phil. degree if they cannot continue their studies for the full programme. After the Ph.D. programme in Mathematics it is envisaged that a four-year BS programme will also be started at this Centre.
Renowned educationist Dr Asghar Qadir was named the first director general of the centre.
He has supervised 10 Ph.D. scholars to completion and is guiding a number of others. He has also supervised many M.Phil. students.
