Classroom Culture
Pakuan University takes pride in enacting student‐centered learning—a system of instruction that puts students at the heart of learning. In this system, teachers don’t just deliver lectures or make students memorize facts. Rather, it encourages active participation and independent inquiry, planting the joy of learning from the classroom to outside it, where students can chart their own research and learning according to their skills and interests. Teachers are always there to guide and mentor students toward critical thinking and discernment, dialogue and trust, engagement and creativity.

The faculty is proud to have a facility offering over 6,000 books in its collection. All these are available to the students to help them in their studies. We have adequate classrooms and art and culture lab to support the learning.
Bookstore
There are some places to go when buying books, both in walking distance and in an area covered by public cars.
Photocopying services
The operators of the photocopying machines are among the most popular people on campus. Photocopying is important to the students and the faculty because most handouts are reproduced and circulated in the stations. Class beadles or professors often leave the handouts or readings at a photocopier for the students to reproduce for themselves. There are a number of photocopying areas in the campus.
