Vice Chancellor’s Message

It gives me a great pleasure to serve as the first Vice Chancellor of this newly established FATA University. After assuming the charge as a Vice Chancellor, I made strong commitment that I will leave no stone unturned in paving the foundation of this university on strong footage. This can only be possible if I was succeeded in having a team of devoted, intellectual, talented and competent faculty and staff. I would, therefore, welcome everyone who is committed to support me in this cause. I will try my best to attract and retain outstanding faculty and staff to serve this university to their best. As a vice Chancellor, I am deeply committed to provide our students with the finest education and a supportive learning environment. The university has been established with an objective to impart higher quality and technical education to the Pakistani students without giving any consideration to sex, religion, creed, cast, race, class, color and domicile. In compliance with the objectives of the FATA University Regulations 2013, due to its infancy and limited space some traditional and professional courses are being offered initially at the Government Degree College, Darra Adem Khel, Kohat. However, with the development of our own campus at Darra Adem Khel with an impressive infrastructure, I am determined to introduce more new and innovative courses with the support of dedicated and dynamic teachers. In order to provide the quality higher education facilities to the students of FATA at their door steps, the establishment of Sub-Campuses of FATA University at all the agencies are also planned in future. I am confident that in the next decade or so, surmounting all sorts of hurdles, it will be the first and sole university in FATA, which will be grown into a dynamic degree awarding institution engaged itself in capacity building, in terms of infrastructure and human resource development. I am striving to make the FATA University a model educational institute where the students will have quality education and training that will open new avenues for the betterment of their future. It is hoped that the FATA University will attract the students from all the agencies of FATA, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and also from the other provinces of the country. My dreams can come true, if the intelligentsia of the country come forward and joins hand with us in making this university an institution where the advance level quality education and research flourish and where the fruit of knowledge resonate through the society.

Prof. Dr. M. Tahir Shah (T.I)

and south-western Sulaiman Mountains and runs as a narrow tract along the river Indus with the parallel lines almost north to south.

Composition:

These Tribal Districts consist of Khyber, Mohmand, Bajaur, Kurram, Orakzai, North Waziristan and South Waziristan with sub-

division Darra Adam Khel of District Kohat (these areas were formerly the part of FATA & frontier Region).

India, geographically divides the Pushtun tribes in the region between Afghanistan and the Tribal Districts of Pakistan.

Department of Sociology

Introduction This department is committed to impart research and field work oriented

education to the students by involving them in carrying out research in those

areas which are sociologically significant. Sociology as a science and a full-

fledged discipline has emerged not more than a century ago. It can be more

simply articulated as a “Science of Society”, which aims at the exploration of

the social dynamics. It demonstrates no negligence while studying each and

every activity that falls in the domain of a society. Until recently the

significance of Sociology has consistently been escalating and on a demand to

be a focusing and highlighting discipline of the various intricate social

problems and issues that have arisen out due to the onslaught of the broader

modernization and Globalization processes.

In geology you learn about the physics, chemistry and history of the solid earth

through examining collectable earth materials such as rocks, minerals and fossils, and

by using remote sensing techniques such as seismic waves to explore the structure

and chemistry of its inaccessible areas.

Years one and two give you a firm grounding in earth sciences, building your

knowledge to help you make informed and appropriate unit choices in the third and

fourth years of your degree when a broad range of advanced topics are available for

study.

28

Mission and Objectives

• Functioning as a research oriented institution dedicated to academic excellence, open-mindedness and equality.

Department of English

English serves as the official language of Pakistan. Its significance can be gauged by the fact that

it is a compulsory subject in almost every subject that is taught at the BS level. Its importance

also lies in the fact that a sound understanding of English can benefit students in every walk of

life be it personal or professional. However, the understanding of this subject especially in its

reading and writing domain has not been of the quality one would desire in an intermediate

student in FATA. Thus to fill this gap, the starting of English Department at the FATA University

was considered a necessity.

Mission

29

To encourage students to converse in English and foster an environment where it becomes the lingua franca of the university

Objectives

1) To design a course that can help the students of English in improving their reading, writing and listening capabilities.

2)To encourage students to have a sound understanding of English Literature, linguistics and other areas that the subject provide.
