The Oxford Pakistan Programme (the “OPP”) is the first initiative of its kind that seeks to create new opportunities for Pakistani scholars and support Pakistan-related activities at the University of Oxford.

The principal aims of OPP are to:

  1. increase the representation of Pakistani and British Pakistani students at the University of Oxford;
  2. raise the academic profile of Pakistan, and Pakistan-related studies at the University of Oxford; and
  3. act as a bridge between the University of Oxford and Pakistan’s academic community through the exchange of scholars and the sharing of scholarship.

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.
