About
History
The University of Peshawar founded in 1950, is the fulfillment of a dream, which had long remained unrealized. The first seeds of the University may be said to have been sown by Sir Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum Khan, who boldly conceived the idea and founded Islamia College – (The Dar-ul-ulum Islamia) in 1913 at the first out-post of civilization, almost at the mouth of the historic Khyber Pass.

Studying at university is it self an ambitious one .which changes the perceptions, thoughts and behaviour of an individual. Making a person approach quite rationale . As the environment of a class debates ,discussions and learning about the different aspects produce leadership qualities.
