What Faculties and Academic Disciplines Does STMU Offer?
Updated
STMU (Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University), Islamabad, is organized into five faculties: Health Sciences; Nursing & Midwifery; Pharmaceutical & Allied Health Sciences; Social Sciences & Humanities; and Computing. If your intended field falls within medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, allied health, computing, management, psychology, Islamic studies, education, or law, STMU likely has a relevant department or program. The sections below map each faculty to its departments and named programs so you can check coverage against your own study area.
Faculty of Health Sciences
This is the largest faculty by breadth of programs, anchored by Shifa College of Medicine and Shifa College of Dentistry.
| Unit | Programs / areas named on the site |
|---|---|
| Shifa College of Medicine (SCM) | MBBS; Certificate in Clinical Nutrition; MS Clinical Nutrition; PhD Clinical Nutrition; Clinical Electives |
| Shifa College of Dentistry (SCD) | BDS; PhD Dentistry |
| Shifa School of Health Professions Education | Health professions education |
| Department of Podiatric Medicine | Podiatric medicine |
| Shifa School of Universal Health Coverage | Universal health coverage |
SCM also publishes its own admissions information, academic calendar, curriculum and assessment materials, exam notices, and postgraduate training pages, so prospective medical students can follow the process from one college-level section.
Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery
This faculty is built around Shifa College of Nursing. It is the place to look if your target is nursing or midwifery rather than medicine or allied health.
Faculty of Pharmaceutical & Allied Health Sciences
Three units sit under this faculty:
- Shifa College of Pharmaceutical Sciences — pharmacy
- Shifa College of Medical Technology — medical technology
- Department of Rehabilitation Sciences — rehabilitation fields
- Department of Biosciences — biosciences
The site also lists faculty profiles for this faculty, which is useful if you want to check research interests before applying.
Faculty of Social Sciences & Humanities
This faculty covers non-clinical disciplines:
- Department of Management Science
- Department of Clinical Psychology
- Department of Islamic Studies
- Department of Education
- Department of Shari'ah and Law
Note that clinical psychology sits here rather than in Health Sciences, so search this faculty if psychology is your target.
Faculty of Computing
The computing faculty is divided into four departments:
- Department of Artificial Intelligence
- Department of Computer Science
- Department of Cyber Security
- Department of Software Engineering
This is the faculty to check for AI, general computing, security, or software engineering degrees.
How to Confirm Your Specific Program
The faculty and department list tells you whether a discipline exists at STMU; it does not confirm that a specific degree level (BS, MS, PhD) is currently open for admission. To verify:
- Open the department page for your field and check which programs are listed.
- Cross-check the Admissions section for current intake and eligibility.
- For medicine and dentistry, use the college-specific admissions pages (SCM or SCD), which carry their own timelines and vacant-seat notices.
If your field does not appear under any of the five faculties above, STMU's published structure does not cover it.
