SHAH FARMAN Governor, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ii Message from the PRO-VICE CHANCELLOR The University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar has been successfully able to translate the vision over the years of developing responsible future leaders who are capable of facing the daunting realities and global challenges. Towards that end, the university has not only opened new departments but adopted a robust teaching methodology more in line with the requirements of global world. As we know that Pakistan is a signatory of the Washington Accord, UET Peshawar has made special efforts in the last few years to bring the engineering programs upto the International standards. We are able to take a huge shift from conventional to the modern teaching system by getting all our major engineering programs accredited under the Outcome Based Education Program. This achievement, no doubt, is attributed to a strong faculty support. Our robust curriculum also serves as a base for the students to develop interpersonal and leadership skills while acquiring academic knowledge. The University is promoting a policy of accessible and quality higher education for all the aspirants across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Our satellite campuses located in Bannu, Kohat, Jalozai and Abbottabad are a manifestation of this commitment where major engineering programs are taught to the students at their doorsteps. While we are committed to achieve our goals, we strongly believe that the next generation in leadership can only evolve if the students themselves put concerted efforts with their Teachers and parents to build strong career. With such inclusiveness, we are confident that UET Peshawar will turn out to be one of the greatest places of learning in the world. Join us and be proud of your alma mater!
