It is primarily known for its faculties in Education, Agriculture, and Economics, aiming to contribute to local development and human resource capacity building. While it plays a vital role for Afghan students, the university does not currently offer dedicated international programs, English-taught degrees, or extensive support services specifically tailored for international students.
