DSU is systematically taking giant leaps towards
achieving its vision of being a Premier
Educational Institution.
HistoryDHA Suffa University was granted Charter by the
Sindh Government in the year 2002. The Charter
is not discipline specific. It gives freedom to
launch programs in any discipline. The
University derives its name from the rectangular
platform in “Masjid-e-Nabwi”, where companions
of the Prophet (PBUH) used to spend most of
their time, day and night in the quest of
knowledge. The University intends to generate
the same zeal and thirst of knowledge among its
students and faculty.
The construction of the present campus on 4
acres of land in DHA Phase VII (Ext). started in

The DSU PhilosophyThe educational philosophy of DSU is three
tiered: inculcating relevant knowledge in
students, helping them with their personal
development and giving them a real
professional life experience. This philosophy
makes the DSU experience “a reward for life”.
DSU’s online admissions system, modern
curricula, unique teaching methodologies,
continuous evaluation, online examination
system and an environment that is conducive to
learning make it a progr institution.
DSU believes that no student should be
deprived of education on the basis of his/her
financial status. It therefore, practices a
need-blind policy for admissions, which means
the sole admission criterion for all students is
merit.
Study with our AccomplishedFacultyDSU boasts of a highly accomplished full-time
faculty which is actively engaged in teaching as
well as research activities. Our faculty
members have a vast experience of working for
some of the most prestigious institutions that
are locally and globally recognized in the world
of academia, research and industry. Their
interests include writing research papers,
developing case studies and providing
consultancy services to public and private
organizations. They believe in creation of
knowledge through research and innovation.
Vibrant Student CommunityDSU students hail from widely diverse
backgrounds and they like to pursue a variety
of interests and passions during their stay at
the university. Our students take keen interest
in various activities ranging from Model United
Nations, Sporting Events, Naat Competitions,
Math Olympiads and Programming
Competitions both at home and overseas.
LearningDSU is a university where learning and acquiring knowledge is the core business. During the process of
learning, human faculties of curiosity, understanding and communication are fully activated. At DSU, we
uphold the view that learning is a layered and ongoing process.
DiscoveryThe spirit of curiosity forces the human mind to find reasons for why and how things happen in the natural
world. This leads to an effort to discover or research for finding answers to questions that arise from
observation of the natural world. Discovery or research is only possible after some learning has taken place.
Discovery may need quantitative and qualitative analytical skills which are developed in the students as part
of the learning process at DSU.
DiversityDHA Suffa University promotes diversity and opens its doors to all persons regardless of their gender, religion,
social status, color, caste and creed. DSU is committed to recognizing and appreciating the variety of
characteristics that make individuals unique. It promotes and celebrates individual and collective
achievements.
DHA Suffa University is an equal opportunity institution with no discrimination on the basis of status,
gender, language, religion, region, color, caste or creed. There is no quota for admissions and
employment. Merit is the sole criteria for admission, employment, academic and career progression. DSU
encourages and facilitates students from rural areas, financially constrained families and foreign countries
to study on open merit.
FaithFaith, in general, means confidence or trust in a
person or entity. However, for DHA Suffa
University, faith specifically means confidence or
trust in the Almighty Allah, the creator of the
universe. Faith in the creator is the foundation of
all good human values. It establishes the vital link
between the creator and the creation. All faiths
promote peace and love. DHA Suffa University
also upholds the view that faith and reason are
not mutually exclusive. True faith must exhibit
itself through action. However, we must not
comment on another person’s faith under any
situation.
CharacterCharacter means knowing the difference between
right and wrong and having the courage to do the
right thing. The University lays great emphasis on
character building. DSU firmly believes that
Character is accumulation of thoughts, values,
words and actions. It is established by long-term
conscientious adherence to moral values. Efforts
by parents, teachers and others to instill these
values are important, but ultimately, character is
both formed and revealed by how one deals with
everyday situations as well as extraordinary
pressures and temptations.
To become a globally recognized institution of higher education and research, which would extend the
frontiers of knowledge and contribute significantly in nation building.
Vision
To achieve higher standards in teaching, learning and research for becoming a world renowned
academic institution.
