It admits students at the Intermediate, Graduate, Masters and Ph.D. levels. LCWU remains a charm for every Intermediate/Undergraduate level student as every year we receive thousands of applications from all over the country and abroad but only the top selected candidates get a chance to sit through the admission test and Interview.Ourpassed out students get appointed and serve in top positions in national and international organizations and fields like media, politics, civil services, provincial services and other fields that earlier have not been quite open for women. The University, over the years, has evolved into a symbol of excellence as an institution that ensures transference of quality education to women.
The conquest of an institute depends on its vision and LCWU's lucid vision has led to its rising stature. The Administrative and Financial Autonomy was given to the institution in the year 1990 which proved to be the turning point in the history of LCWU. The excellent performance during the period of administrative and financial autonomy paved the way for grant of academic autonomy and degree awarding status was granted in August-1999. The award of university status on 10th Sep,2002 added another feather in the cap of Lahore College for Women University as an institution of higher education for female education and women empowerment. Since the establishment of LCWU as a University, the institution has striven for improvement in Higher Education. At the time of autonomy, only six disciplines offered Masters Classes, but now with the University status, LCWU is offering degrees at graduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels. BS 4 year degree program is being offered in 43 disciplines and 5 years Phram-D and Architecture degree is yet another highlight. The University is offering M.A/M.Sc. in 4 subjects and MS/M.Phil degree in 28 subjects. Moreover, the University is offering Ph.D. programs in 18 disciplines that are of immense significance.
External linkages in the forms of LOIS and MOUS with local and Foreign Universities have been established in the fields of Pharmacy, Electronics, Environmental Science, Fine Arts, English, Economics, Mass Communication and Gender Development Studies. The vision behind this advancement, though forward looking, is rooted deeply in the mission of the University duly approved by the syndicate. LCWU (Intermediate College) At F.A. / F.Sc. level the Intermediate College of LCWU is affiliated with the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Lahore for the purpose of examinations. This Intermediate College has proved to be a very fruitful nursery in providing women force for professional education in the province. The 21st century has brought a tremendous revolution in science, which has completely transformed the world. Today, sciences are exploring areas that defy imagination. Keeping in line with the importance of the sciences in today's world, LCWU has been fulfilling demand of the female students in this area too.
Since 1922, the Institution has firmly established its worth and significance in the country by maintaining the level of excellence customary to its origin. With the advancing times and challenging
global scenarios, LCWU is making a rapid progress and there is no doubting the prospect that it would very soon reach out to the pinnacle of its glory and shine even brighter!
