Iqra University’s Ethics and Social Responsibility Initiative is a course – “where theory meets action, and students become leaders for positive change”. Since its beginning in 2018, our program has empowered over 15,000 undergraduate students from diverse disciplines to actively engage with pressing social issues.

Our Purpose

At the heart of our initiative is a commitment to actively pursue the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through a combination of classroom learning and hands-on projects, students develop the skills and knowledge necessary to address real-world challenges.

Key Features

  • Compulsory module for undergraduates’ disciplines; Business Administration, Computer Science, Engineering, Media Studies and other related.
  • Students connect classroom learning with real-life social action projects.
  • Focus on ethical concepts, civic awareness, and global citizenship.
  • Projects aim to address community needs while fostering skills such as leadership, teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
  • Aligned with the university’s tradition of philanthropy and civic mission.

 

Teaching Approach

  • Seven-week classroom discussions cover a range of topics including ethical decision-making, social justice, environmental ethics, and responsible social media use.
  • Mid-term examination includes project proposal and action plan.
  • Student-led projects supervised by faculty, aligned with SDGs, and driven by data.
  • Emphasis on co-creation of knowledge through interactive activities.

 

Impact

Projects extend beyond the classroom, evolving into sustainable community service or non-profit endeavors. Examples include empowering women through vocational training, promoting environmental conservation, and enhancing digital literacy. Each project contributes to local wellbeing and sustainable development goals.

 

Join us in exploring these inspiring initiatives as we cultivate a new generation of ethical leaders dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the world.
