Student Stories

My MPhil at the Department of Political Science, University of Peshawar, has been both enriching and transformative. Guided by a distinguished faculty and a strong research environment, I’ve grown academically and professionally. Through seminars, collaborations, and work with the Maraka Humanitarian Observatory, I’ve deepened my understanding of policy, governance, and humanitarian issues while gaining valuable analytical and practical skills.

The Department of Political Science has been central to my academic and professional growth. It has provided opportunities that shaped me beyond the classroom through rich learning and research experiences. The department’s supportive environment fostered my critical thinking and research skills, while involvement in international projects and organizing academic events strengthened my leadership and global perspective.

Waseem Murad

When I joined the university, I knew little about undergraduate life. My first class with Dr. Ayub Jan changed that—his guidance and encouragement made a lasting impact. Over time, other faculty members also motivated me, supported my growth, and helped me realize my potential. With a welcoming administration and an open, discussion-friendly environment, my undergraduate journey here has been truly transformative—personally.

My name is Amama Arif, and I’m a 3rd-semester student in the Department of Political Science. I genuinely enjoy the wide range of subjects the discipline offers—from Law and Philosophy to Economics and Quantitative Reasoning. The diversity of this curriculum was what first attracted me to the department, and it continues to keep my academic journey dynamic, engaging, and intellectually stimulating.

I truly appreciate the department’s efforts to maintain a clean and healthy environment that supports effective learning. The faculty is highly experienced, though slightly less available to junior classes. The department’s strong use of technology and regular co-curricular activities greatly enhance the learning experience. Overall, it provides a solid and enriching academic environment.
