University of Peshawar
The University of Peshawar is the next top university in Pakistan on our ranking. The University of Peshawar, as the mother educational institution of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is the result of the father of the country's aspiration and was established as the country's first university after independence. It is working fervently with all of its energy and spirit, sincerely serving the noble cause of education as a whole.
The University of Peshawar, which was established in 1950, is the realization of a long-held desire. Sir Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum Khan, who bravely conceived the concept and built Islamia College (The Dar-ul-ulum Islamia) in 1913 at the first outpost of civilization, virtually at the mouth of the famous Khyber Pass, may be considered to have sowed the first seeds of the University.
The Higher Education Commission (HEC) aspires to build and sustain a vibrant, internationally competitive research industry in Pakistan that contributes significantly to economic growth, national well-being, and knowledge development and dissemination. One of the HEC's main strategic aims is to promote research.
The quality and research output originating from Pakistan's universities and institutes have shown remarkable improvements as a result of the HEC's program and initiatives for strengthening research and the process of knowledge creation, and Pakistan has been recognized as a rising star in a number of research disciplines in terms of percentage increase in internationally cited research publications. However, this is only the beginning; they must not only continue and develop this trend, but also consider concerns of relevance and the research's economic, social, and intellectual consequences.
A library, accommodation, sports facilities, financial assistance and/or scholarships, study abroad and exchange programs, as well as administrative services, are all available to students at UOP. Every sort of customer may find a somewhere to stay, from the extremely cheap to the very affluent, and there are eating establishments strewn across town serving a range of cuisines.
A vast number of medium and small medical and associated institutions, both in the public and private sectors, provide medical coverage in addition to the three major hospitals.
