‘Good Governance’ has become an obligation worldwide. In Pakistan, implementation of good governance is considered imperative for maintaining stability and order and ensuring long-term development. It is my proud privilege to present to you the disciple of Governance, which was instituted by National University of Modern Languages for the first time in Pakistan in 2006.

The Department of Governance and Public Policy endeavors to impart a comprehensive understanding of governance issues coupled with intricacies of organizational functioning and its dynamics. It covers a wide spectrum of modules, which aims to produce and polish prospective leaders.
