Dawat University

About

Dawat University, a private institution in Kabul, Afghanistan, established in 2005, is primarily recognized for its robust programs in Islamic Studies and Sharia Law. Beyond its theological foundations, the university also offers strong faculties in Law and Political Science, Economics, Computer Science, and Engineering, aiming to blend traditional values with contemporary academic disciplines. While specific dedicated international student programs, summer schools, or extensive English-taught courses are not widely publicized, the primary languages of instruction are Dari and Pashto. Consequently, prospective international students should anticipate a learning environment primarily catering to local linguistic and cultural contexts, with general student support rather than specialized international services. Its distinctive characteristic lies in its deep integration of Islamic principles and values across its diverse curriculum.
