Our Aims
The principal aims of OPP are to:
- Raise the academic profile of Pakistan, and Pakistan-related studies at the University of Oxford; and
- Act as a bridge between the University of Oxford and Pakistan’s academic community through the exchange of scholars and the sharing of scholarship.
- Increase the representation of Pakistani and British Pakistani students at the University of Oxford;
A home-grown initiative that is led by Pakistani academics and alumni, the OPP works in close partnership with various departments and colleges of the University of Oxford, and acts as a unique platform for collaboration on Pakistan at Oxford.
