Introduction
The Department of Political Science is one of the leading teaching departments of the Bacha Khan University Charsadda. Political Science deals with the various political, social and cultural arrangements through which people govern their lives. It attempts to interpret the past and explain the present and often dares to draw images of the future. As a field of study, it reaches to many levels from the evolution of political philosophy and the character of contemporary political concepts to the problems of development in emerging nations, from the crisis of governance in Pakistan to the interaction of State, Society and System in the international arena. Political scientists explore the concerns and issues that animate public life.

The Political Science
seeks to provide students with a learning experience that will equip them to
face the challenges of an increasingly complex job market and prepare them to
become active and engaged citizens at the local, national and international
levels. The political science program provides students with a broad-based
political education that is grounded in the field’s theoretical traditions.
This includes a strong background in the fundamental branches of our
discipline: Pakistan’s politics, comparative politics, international politics,
political theory and public administration. Political science students acquire
practical experience and develop connections in the community through a variety
of legal internships. Further, the department has designed the advanced courses
under the guidelines of Higher Education Commission (HEC) 2020 policy through
which students gain abilities to critically assess contemporary political
events and identify practical solutions to social problems. Political science
majors develop analytical and methodological skills that will serve them well
regardless of their chosen profession.
