Globalization and Information Technology continue to process at a dramatic pace. To answer the demand of a changing society, Pakistan’s higher education system needs to shift its focus from individuals who simply absorb knowledge to those who are able to creatively utilize knowledge to excel in unfamiliar situations. These creative individuals should be able to track situation from new perspective, break into new field excel in crisis management, and be rich in ingenuity.
The role of a university is to diligently perform the duty of imparting high quality education while at the same time maintaining strong links with society. Stress in the high quality education is of the essence because the battle of life cannot be won with the cheap degrees which are like wooden armour. Private university should therefore devote themselves to nurturing creative individuals and must continue in this tradition, raising leader who are able to carry Pakistan into the future. I am confident that the Sarhad University has geared programme towards this end.
There are no shortcuts to success. We have to develop high standards on ethical, social, economic and scientific front. Such developments do not take place spontaneously; these demand hardwork, discipline, dedication and commitment. I hope that the Sarhad University is taking all measures to inculcate these values in the students.
I wish Sarhad Univeristy a great success.

Higher Education; a demanding but a highly rewarding field of education system, plays a pivotal role in fulfilling the quest for bringing pleasant change in the socio-economic fabric of the society and ensures better future both for the country and the people. In the given circumstances, achieving this cherished goal indeed demands constant efforts, sustained determination and resources on the part of individuals, institutions and the society alike. In line with the desired targets one can witness an encouraging environment, enthusiastic approach, high spirit and a confident struggle at every level in the province.
It is indeed a pleasure to note that the Sarhad University of Science & Information Technology, Peshawar is engaged as an active partner along with its sister institutions, working both in the public and private sectors in the ongoing struggle to achieve the target set forth for the cause of education. The initiative to introduce demand driven, result oriented and contemporary disciplines, besides continuing research and educational activities in the existing institutions and infrastructure development for further expansion of the campus provides a heartening and convincing reason to judge the pace, with which it is progressing, is impressive.
While writing these lines for the Prospectus 2024-25 of the University, I also take the advantage to congratulate the management, faculty and students especially the new entrants for successfully stepping into their new pursuits and wish more success to all of them.

The Role of education as a major change factor hardly needs any exaggeration.
Among the distinguishing characteristics of developing economies, education is a measuring tool in determining the status of a nation. The availability of efficient educational and training institutions with professionally skilled manpower can turn fortunes for any country.
Therefore, education has always been our priority sector and the present Government has been making all out efforts to provide maximum opportunities to students desirous of education. It is encouraging to note that enrollment in educational institutions and public inclination towards higher education is increasing which proves that governmental efforts for promotion of education are fructifying.
It will not be out of place to mention public sector universities, along with private sector universities, have been playing an important role in meeting the diverse and increasing educational demands of students in the province. In this regard, the contribution of Sarhad University of Science & Technology, Peshawar , is commendable and deserves to be placed on record.
It is hoped that Sarhad University will continue playing its significant role in the advancement of knowledge and growth of the provincial economy by providing learning opportunities at the doorstep of those interested in pursuing higher education.

It is a matter of immense pleasure for me to record my message for prospectus 2024-25. It is a unique imagination and a marvelous experience that a journey I started in the year 2001, is now unfolding its colors in many ways. The launching of Sarhad University with a humble start of programs in Computer Science, IT and Management Sciences from ab-initio was a gigantic task which I could not have accomplished alone. It was my team which worked with unmatched hard work and dedication as the resources were meager and the resolve to reach the students was unflinching.
It had been my life-long desire to reach and serve people from an area that desperately needed my services and contributions in the higher education sector. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province suited my objective more than any other neglected areas of Pakistan due to its close proximity to my base-station and the energetic segment of students of the province, who otherwise have all the potential to be in the driving seat. I chose education as my preferred objective and the young generation as my prime target as no society in the civilized world could ever progress without educating upcoming generations.
Dear students, Sarhad University with state-of-the-art buildings housing spacious classrooms, scientific and research laboratories, a huge library with latest books, Seminar Hall, dedicated parking space along with sports facilities is now fully functional to offer academic programs in various disciplines. In the wake of latest developments we have put in place a robust security system backed by CCTV cameras with recording facilities through DVR system, walk through gates and metal detectors to maintain a secured environment at the premises. The testimony to our success can be judged from the out-flow of our graduates who are currently serving in almost all the public departments at the provincial and national level. Beside, those many pursuing their higher studies at various International Universities. I would also like to extend my thanks to the students who opt to join Sarhad University to be in our fold for the coming 4-5 years with a pledge to work for their better education and settlement in their assignments.

I am happy to convey my message about Sarhad University which was established in the year 2001 with the sole objective of providing quality education at higher level according to the expectations of our youth. I would like to inform you that today, our university is placed in the highest category of HEC. We have worked round the clock over the last 23 years to achieve this level of excellence and proved ourselves in accordance with the expectations of all stakeholders. The University as of today is home to more than 6000 students in contemporary disciplines including Pharmacy, Nursing, Allied Health Sciences, Computer Sciences, Software Engineering, Management Sciences, Engineering, Art & Design, Humanities and Social Sciences. These programs are being supervised by more than 100 PhD, around 150 M.Phil/MS and MSc degree holders, having vast teaching and administrative experience. Our teaching departments are associated with the modern labs equipped with latest and up to date equipment required for the practical work of the students to gain hands on experience.
The Department of Pharmacy, Nursing and Allied Health Sciences are also linked with the major hospitals of Peshawar City for clinical rotation of the students to deal directly with the patients of their particular specialties.
SUIT believes in imparting quality education and for this purpose, we have established a full-fledged Quality Enhancement Cell to fine tune our programs with regular intervals. Our Quality Enhancement Cell is fully functional to supervise the quality of programs according to HEC's laid down criteria and there is a continuous progress in our academic programs to achieve this very goal.
It will be in place to write that Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC) has also been established. More so bringing the university under one umbrella has provided us the opportunity to focus on research activities for which faculty members and students are provided with financial and material assistance. Seminars, Workshops, Curricular & Co-curricular activities are held regularly to groom our students. I assure all students of my fullest support to educate them in the best possible manner so that they could prove their metal in their respective fields after graduation from Sarhad University.

It is a privilege for me to be associated with such a progressive and rapidly developing university. During the last 22 years, Sarhad University has made landmark achievements in many areas. The Faculty size has increased manifold due to the induction of a number of PhD and M.Phil Degree holders in the field of Engineering, Pharmacy, Nursing, Management Sciences, Computer Science, Arts, Education and certain health-related disciplines. Our focus on quality education has enabled the students to acquire relevant knowledge and to become true professionals. Academic activities like conferences, workshops, and seminars have not only created an environment conducive for research, but have also added to the experience of our faculty and students. Our graduates, equipped with the right blend of knowledge and skills are prepared to carve their niche in the corporate world and to play their due role in socio-economic development of the country. I attribute our success in all these areas to the faculty, management and students whose devotion, hard work, sincerity, and determination have earned us high reputation and due recognition.
Selecting a particular degree program for stepping into professional life is one of the most crucial decisions. Equally difficult is the choice of an institution of higher learning to pursue the selected degree program. For those who have reached this decision making stage, Sarhad University offers various fields at its Main Campus in Peshawar, sub campuses and the opportunity to learn online / distance education. May Allah Almighty bless our youth and guide them in making right decisions, and enable the university management to give its best to the students.
