PREFACEThe curriculum of subject is described as a throbbing pulse of a nation. Byviewing curriculum one can judge the stage of development and its pace ofsocio-economic development of a nation. With the advent of new technology,the world has turned into a global village. In view of tremendous researchtaking place world over new ideas and information pours in like of a stream offresh water, making it imperative to update the curricula after regular intervals,for introducing latest development and innovation in the relevant field ofknowledge.In exercise of the powers conferred under Section 3 Sub-Section 2 (ii) of Act ofParliament No. X of 1976 titled “Supervision of Curricula and Textbooksand Maintenance of Standard of Education” the erstwhile University GrantsCommission was designated as competent authority to develop review andrevise curricula beyond Class-XII. With the repeal of UGC Act, the samefunction was assigned to the Higher Education Commission under itsOrdinance of 2002 Section 10 Sub-Section 1 (v).In compliance with the above provisions, the HEC undertakes revamping andrefurbishing of curricula after regular intervals in a democratic manner involvinguniversities/DAIs, research and development institutions and local Chamber ofCommerce and Industry. The intellectual inputs by expatriate Pakistanisworking in universities and R&D institutions of technically advanced countriesare also invited to contribute and their views are incorporated whereconsidered appropriate by the National Curriculum Revision Committee(NCRC).To bring international compatibility to qualifications held from Pakistaniuniversities/DAIs for promotion of students mobility and job seekers around theglobe, a Committee comprising of Conveners of the National CurriculumRevision Committee of HEC met in 2009 and developed a unified template forstandardized 4-years/8-semesters BS degree programmes. This unifiedtemplate was aimed to inculcate broader base of knowledge in the subjects likeEnglish, Sociology, Philosophy, Economics etc. in addition to major disciplineof study. The Bachelor (BS) degree course requires to be completed in 4years/8-semesters, and shall require qualifying of 130-140 credit hours ofwhich 77% of the curriculum will constitute discipline specific and remaining23% will comprise compulsory and general courses.In line with above, NCRC comprising senior university faculty and experts fromvarious stakeholders and the respective accreditation councils has finalized thecurriculum for BS 4-years in Fashion Design. The same is being recommendedfor adoption by the universities/DAIs channelizing through relevant statutorybodies of the universities.MUHAMMAD JAVED KHANAdviser (Academics)June, 20114
