Department of Psychology, University of Peshawar

The Department of Psychology came into existence in 1964. Professor Dr. Shahabuddin Muhammad Mughni laid down its foundation as its first Professor and Chairman. The Department moved into the present building in 1973, started a Ph.D. program, and expanded in terms of faculty members, Seminar Library, Laboratory Equipment, and Psychological Tests, etc. Under Dr. Jahanzeb’s leadership in 2009, a nearby block was occupied by the Department to shift its clinical program to it. In 2010 Professor Muhammad Jahanzeb Khan won a development project for the department from the HEC and a new academic block was constructed to accommodate Assessment and Counselling Clinic and BS students. The block was inaugurated in April 2016. Dr. Erum remained PD of the project.
