Lahore Medical and Dental College (LMDC Lahore) has reached a significant milestone in its journey to excellence. Established in 1997 as Punjab’s first privately owned medical college, LMDC Lahore has been awarded the prestigious university charter - Lahore University of Biological & Applied Sciences (Lahore UBAS). This marks a pivotal moment for the institution and brings exciting prospects for the future of higher education in Health & Applied Sciences.

Lahore UBAS- Education Mastered

Lahore UBAS proudly offers a comprehensive range of 6 faculties, providing students with 18 undergraduate and postgraduate programs. This diverse array of academic options, from Applied Health Sciences to Social Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Pharmaceutical Sciences to Nursing, empowers students to pursue their passions and excel in their chosen fields. However, it is essential to note that for MBBS & BDS programs, UHS will remain the admitting university, while LMDC will continue as the admitting college. .

LMDC to Lahore UBAS

The integration of LMDC into the Punjab Group of Colleges (PGC)- Pakistan’s largest education network, has played a crucial role in shaping the institution’s path towards becoming a chartered university. This strategic partnership has brought LMDC alongside three other well-known chartered universities: The University of Central Punjab (UCP), Capital University of Science and Technology (CUST), and Muhammad Ali Jinnah University (MAJU). Hence, Lahore University of Biological & Applied Sciences (Lahore UBAS) becomes the fourth university under the auspices of the Punjab Group.

For the last 38 years, Punjab Group has served Pakistan with the best education; ranging from schools and colleges to universities. Now, Lahore UBAS proudly becomes part of an extensive educational network of the country, comprising over four hundred colleges and fifteen hundred schools nationwide.
