What Is Riphah International University and What Programs and Campuses Does It Offer?
Updated
Riphah International University is a private university in Pakistan offering accredited programs across medicine, engineering, business, computing, pharmaceutical sciences, rehabilitation, social sciences, and veterinary sciences. It offers undergraduate, graduate, doctoral (PhD), certificate/diploma, associate degree, and pathway programs through eight named faculties, with campuses in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Malakand, and several other cities. The university describes itself as rooted in Islamic values, which shape its stated core values and program development.
Degree Levels and Faculties
Riphah organizes its academic offerings by degree level and by faculty. The degree levels listed on its site are:
- Undergraduate programs
- Graduate programs
- Doctoral (PhD) programs
- Certificates / diplomas
- Associate degree programs
- Pathway programs
The eight faculties are:
| Faculty | Abbreviation |
|---|---|
| Faculty of Computing | FC |
| Faculty of Engineering & Applied Sciences | FEAS |
| Faculty of Health & Medical Sciences | FHMS |
| Faculty of Management Sciences | FMS |
| Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences | FPS |
| Faculty of Rehabilitation & Allied Health Sciences | FRAHS |
| Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities | FSSH |
| Faculty of Veterinary Sciences | FVS |
This structure matters if you are comparing Riphah against other Pakistani private universities: it is not a single-discipline institution. A student interested in medicine, engineering, business, or computing would each be looking at a different faculty with its own program list.
Campuses
Riphah operates multiple campuses, each with a listed address:
Islamabad
- I-14 (Main) Campus — Sector I-14, Hajj Complex, Islamabad
- G-7 City Campus — G-7/4, 7th Avenue, Islamabad
- Gulberg Green Campus — Gulberg Expressway, Gulberg Greens, Islamabad
Rawalpindi
- Al-Mizan Campus — 274 Peshawar Road, Rawalpindi
Lahore
- Raiwind Campus — 13-Km, Raiwind Road, Lahore

- QIE Campus — 28-M, Quaid-e-Azam Industrial Estate, Kot Lakhpat, Lahore
Malakand

Other campuses
Peshawar, Faisalabad, Sahiwal, and Gujranwala are also listed as campuses, with details available through the university's site.
Because programs are distributed across campuses, the practical step is to confirm which campus hosts the specific program you want before applying — the same faculty may not operate at every location.
Stated Core Values
Riphah presents its core values as the basis of all its programs, development projects, and welfare initiatives. As listed on its site:
- Al-Akhirah — Akhirah-oriented decisions
- Itiqan — pursuit of excellence
- Mushawarah — consultation and harmony
- Ijtima'iyah — team work
- Rahmah — compassion
- Muhasabah — accountability
These values are context for understanding the university's stated Islamic orientation. They are the institution's own framing rather than an external ranking or accreditation claim.
How to Explore Programs and Admissions
The university's website is the entry point for program and admissions information. From the homepage, the "Explore" section links to:
- Our Programs — the full program catalog
- Our Faculties — the eight faculties listed above
- Our Campuses — campus pages with addresses and details
Each degree level (undergraduate, graduate, PhD, certificates/diplomas, associate, pathway) has its own "Learn More" link, and each faculty has a dedicated page. To check admissions specifically, look for the admissions section of the site or contact the relevant campus directly; the homepage also carries announcements and upcoming opportunities under "News & Updates" and "Happenings."
A practical sequence for a prospective student:
- Identify the faculty that matches your subject area.
- Open that faculty's page to see its programs and degree levels.
- Confirm which campus offers the program.
- Follow the admissions information for application requirements and deadlines.
What the Site Does Not Specify
The available site information does not list tuition fees, scholarship terms, admission deadlines, or entry requirements for individual programs. Those details would need to be confirmed through the admissions office or the specific faculty or campus page rather than assumed from the general overview.
