Features

The Department of Pakistan Studies was established in 2003. The Department offers programs i.e Bs, Mphil and PhD in Pakistan Studies. It aims to impart deep learning and understanding of the historical, social and cultural, political and economic contours of the state and society of Pakistan. It also attempts to orientate the students towards the institutional strengths and weaknesses of the government in order to reinforce its strengths and correct what we may call our deficiencies.

They envisage making the department as a center of excellence of Pakistan Studies with the aims of producing capable experts and quality research in the subject of Pakistan Studies. The Department has launched PhD program. Pakistan Studies is an inter-disciplinary subject and it offers courses which have close affinity with and understanding of other subjects of Social Sciences such as Economics, Sociology, History, Political Science, International Relations and Pakistani languages and their literature.

They are trying our best to encourage and prepare the students for the exploration, analysis and advancement of research on the issues besetting Pakistan internally and externally. In this regard, the authorities of the university are planning to establish a Research Centre in near future which would not only concentrate on the basic issues of Pakistani state and society but also examine and boost the prospects of peace in South Asia and suggest ways and means to promote harmony and stability in the region.
