It is the oldest and largest public university in Pakistan.〔 With multiple campuses in Gujranwala, Jhelum, and Khanspur, the university was formally established by the British Government after convening the first meeting for establishing higher education institutions in October 1882 at Simla.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PU campuses )〕 The Punjab University was the fourth university to be established by the British colonial authorities in the indian subcontinent; the first three universities were established in other parts of British India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wdl.org/en/item/4308/ )〕 The university offers a wide range of undergraduate, post-graduate, and doctoral programmes and various institutes in Punjab are affiliated with the Punjab University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pu.edu.pk/affiliation )〕 Approximately 30,000〔 enrolled students are currently attending the university, the PU has total of 13 faculties within which there are 63 academic departments, research centers, and institutes.〔 The Punjab University has ranked first amongst large-sized multiple faculty universities by the HEC in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HEC Pakistan Rankings by research quality )〕 There are also two Nobel Laureates amongst the university's alumni and former staff.〔 Additionally, the university is also a member of Association of Commonwealth Universities of the United Kingdom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.acu.ac.uk/membership/acu-members/asia-central-south?country_id=172&items_perpage=20&pageID=2 )〕 ==History== The University of the Punjab was given its initial impetus by Wood's despatch in 1854. Gottlieb Wilhelm Leitner was the founder of the university. Contrary to the three previously established universities, which were only examining institutions, the University of the Punjab was both teaching as well as examining body right from the beginning. From its formation in 1882 until 1947, the University of the Punjab served the educational needs of the entire region of pre-independence Punjab and northern India. Mohindra College, Patiala was the first college of higher learning to affiliate with University of Punjab in 1882; followed by St. Stephen's College, Delhi. The independence of Pakistan in 1947 reduced the geographical jurisdiction of the university, as it was split into two separate universities in the respective countries. The Indian portion of the university is referred to as Panjab University, Chandigarh, India. The current Institute of Administrative Sciences was created in 1962. Many major institutions that were previously affiliated to Punjab University have now become independent universities on their own, such as Government College University, Lahore and Medical and Engineering Colleges. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of the Punjab」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
