Under the leadership of Ma’am Qurrat ul Ain Rehman (former head of BULS) the Society flourished considerably.

The main objective of BULS is to provide a platform of friendship, personal growth, career development and university inclusiveness to students and help them acquire skills and talents that they are not able to learn or develop through normal third level education.
