What Academic Programs and Faculties Are Offered at CUST?

Capital University of Science & Technology (CUST) in Islamabad organizes its academics into seven faculties, each containing one or more departments. The site lists these under its Academics menu and points prospective students to a "Find Your Program" section for program-level detail. Below is what the site shows, so you can check whether a field you're interested in is represented.

Faculties and example departments

A few observations that help with orientation:

• Computing and Engineering are the most subdivided, with three departments each, covering both core disciplines (computer science, civil, electrical, mechanical) and supporting areas (software engineering, mathematics).
• Management and Social Sciences is the broadest by subject range, mixing business-oriented departments (management sciences, accounting and finance) with psychology and English.
• Health and Life Sciences, Pharmacy, and Law each appear as a single department, which suggests a more focused offering in those areas.
• ADP stands for Associate Degree Programs, a separate track from the bachelor's-level faculties.

How to go from faculty to a specific program

The faculty list tells you the subject areas; it does not tell you which degree levels (undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate) are offered in each. To narrow down:

1. Open the Academics section of the site and select the faculty closest to your interest.
2. Use the Find Your Program entry point to see the programs associated with that faculty.
3. Cross-check admission requirements on the Admissions pages, which include eligibility criteria, criteria for selection of successful candidates, a prospectus, sample papers, and FAQs.

The Admissions section also lists Scholarships with their criteria and eligibility, which is worth reviewing alongside program choice if cost is a factor.

What this means for your decision

If your intended field is computer science, software engineering, civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering, business management, accounting and finance, psychology, English, biosciences, pharmacy, or law, CUST lists a corresponding department. If your interest falls outside these areas, the site's faculty structure does not show a matching department, and you would need to confirm directly with the university before applying.

For the exact degree titles, duration, and admission deadlines, the prospectus linked from the Admissions section is the authoritative document; the faculty and department names above only establish the subject coverage.
