Department of Architecture, UET-NIUIP Hayatabad Peshawar

Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the oldest city of Pakistan holds an extremely important location both geographically and strategically in the region. Peshawar's history dates back to 539 BCE which is reflected widely in its cultural spaces, art, architecture, museums and monuments.

However, Peshawar has witnessed rapid urbanization in last few years, posing huge threats to its rich architectural traditions. Being the Capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the city holds a unique niche in all aspects of human life including economic, social and educational well-being. This rapid and haphazard urban planning has not only disturbed the city landscape but affected the heritage buildings and built area. Establishment of the Department of Architecture at UET Peshawar aims to serve this purpose by creating awareness in the general public towards the preservation of preciously built heritage with shared responsibility and ethics. The Department of Architecture will train professionals who could play their valuable role in formulating policies for the promotion of sustainable built environment. As a student, you will gain a rigorous education under the supervision of a highly qualified faculty and vibrant environment of university.
