University of Management and Technology (UMT) has become Pakistan’s first university to launch a fully immersive virtual campus in the Metaverse. This pioneering initiative, led by former Minister and UMT President Ibrahim Hasan Murad, offers students, prospective students, faculty, and visitors the opportunity to explore, connect, and engage in a 3D virtual environment that mirrors the real world.
The UMT Virtual World redefines the academic experience, enabling users to explore various schools, access admissions portals, and interact with faculty and fellow visitors, all through an interactive 3D virtual campus tour. This digital leap is aimed at providing a more dynamic, engaging, and accessible learning environment for global students.
Ibrahim Hasan Murad emphasized that the move into the Metaverse represents UMT’s commitment to embracing technology in education. He believes that this immersive space will foster career development, global collaboration, and an extensive network of opportunities, revolutionizing how education is experienced and setting a global precedent for universities to explore the potential of the Metaverse in enhancing the learning experience.
