The Department of Political Science was founded in 1962 at the University of Peshawar, the oldest and most renowned institution located in the northwestern region of Pakistan. Since its inception, the department has offered a comprehensive platform for studying and analysing political theory, comparative politics, public policy, governance, and international relations. Dedicated to promoting scholarly excellence, the department emphasises evidence-based knowledge production, the use of interdisciplinary frameworks and methodologies in the study of politics, and policy relevance.
