MA English NUML
Any person who is having information about MA English (English Language Teaching + Linguistics and Literature )NUML University and its courses and fee structure? I tried to explorer the official site but no satisfactory information was provided.
Moreover, one of my teacher who is visiting staff, was saying that NUML is not having enough much reputation amongst. Is it true? While I have explored HEC's site they are recognized over there. Regards |

NUML is a chartered/accredited university of the country in public/government sector. The degrees of the university are recognized by the HEC. However, as far as its reputation is concerned, in my thinking the university is not having so good reputation in market. Primarily this is a language university and degrees/diplomas and certificates issued in languages have sound value but its other degrees like MBA etc are not so much acceptable in market.... The university has very good infrastructure but sory to say, in my thinking its management is not too much good.... Since you plan to do MA English from NUML thn you may go ahead to get admission.

Numl Rocks
Numl is very well reputed University in term of Master Degrees in Languages particularly in MA ENGLISH.
I have done MA ENGLISH from NUML Lahore campus in literature & linguistics. Teachers are very outstanding and hard working.. My session was (August 2007 - August 2009). The demand of MA ENGLISH degree of NUML is too much in demand now a days and most of the universities, colleges prefer fresh MA ENGLISH degree holders with good percantage marks. Management is very co-operative and even they don't bother to delay result and result of either mid term or final term of every semester is announced with in 2 months, that is the positive thing of that university. so, i recomend NUML to every body. NUML RoCkS. !
