HoD Message
Department of Political Science is one of the four departments established with the very foundation of FATA University in 2016. The establishment of the department of Political Science is a commendable step of the university administration for the uplift of the Study of Social Sciences in the University. Political Science as one of the core Social Science subjects; helps us to understand the complex national and international political structure, which has a direct effect on individual’s life. In addition, it studies political culture, Political relations, Political Ideologies and various socio-political concepts having impacts on daily life. The department provides conducive academic environment of learning and research. The students of the department actively participate in the various activities of the university and have a keen interest in their subject. The Department envisions producing sound minds for the betterment of the society. The department also envisions interaction with the society for understanding and providing solutions to socio-political problems. As a Social Science subject, the department of Political Science has dual responsibility. It is responsible for producing sound individuals with good civic sense having an understanding of the socio- political realities around us (particularly in the erstwhile FATA region). It is also responsible to the society at large for promoting awareness regarding various socio-political issues. We, in the department of political science believe in the indispensability of the study of Social Sciences for the uplift of the society. An educated, aware, and politically mobile citizenry is one of the essential ingredients for the integration and development of any state. We believe that the Department of Political Science, FATA University will contribute towards the awareness of the society and will contribute towards the achievement of these goals.
Mission & Vision
Historically, FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) is situated along the northwestern boarder of Pakistan. It is having international frontier “Durand Line” which has been a focus of international politics throughout decades due to its geo-strategic position and economic potential. This region remained out of focus during cold war but the New World Order registered its emergence again. Realizing multi-dimensional importance of the region, the Government of Pakistan has established the FATA University. The curriculum has technically been framed to address the core issues within the framework of four disciplines such as Sociology, Political Science, Mathematics and Management Science. In this academic mechanism, the Department of Political Science has been established with a purpose to enlighten the students of FATA with a modern approach of political studies to reform the existing available academic information regarding the subject. Initially, the department has started the 1st semester of BS (4-years) program in Political Science with Introductions to Political Science, International Relations and Economics. In addition to this, subjects like English and Islamic studies are also being offered as per Higher Education Commission’s (HEC) rules with efficient and devoted faculty members. It is planned that MS and Ph.D programs in Political Science will also be offered very soon in future. The courses in the BS program of the department are designed in such a manner that these will help the students in preparing for the competitive examinations of Federal and Provincial level civil services and will also help in understanding the political strategies. It is hoped that this department will play an important role in the potential skill development of the students.
