History

DHA Suffa University was granted Charter by the Government of Sindh in 2002 and was established in 2012. The university derives its name "Suffa" from the rectangular platform called Suffah in Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, where companions of Muhammad used to gather to seek knowledge. The construction of the DHA Phase VII (Ext) campus, spreading over five acres (2.0 ha) of land, was started in 2004 and completed in 2007. The capacity of this campus is 2000 students. DSU's most recent initiative includes its new DCK Campus in DHA City Karachi. Spreading over 30 acres of prime land at DHA City Karachi, it has the capacity to accommodate 3000 students in the first phase and will form the nucleus of the Education City at DCK. This new campus has become operational from 2020, with the launch of DSU's BE (Civil) program.[7]

DSU was recognized as a private sector degree awarding institution by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) in the year 2012.[8] In its very first participation in the annual ranking process of HEC for the year 2014, DSU achieved the impressive ranking of 31 out of 169 public and private sector universities of Pakistan.

The BE (Mechanical) and BE (Electrical) and BE (Civil) programs of DSU are accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC).[9] The BS (Computer Science) program is accredited and approved by the National Computing Education Accreditation Council (NCEAC)[10] and BBA and MBA programs conform to the standards of National Business Education Accreditation Council (NBEAC).

The university has been inspected and evaluated by the Government of Sindh's Charter Inspection and Evaluation Committee (CIEC) periodically in the last eight years. On all occasions, the CIEC was pleased to see the rapid growth of the university and the high standards of education being maintained.

The university also has MOU's and agreements with international universities in Europe and Asia. It has a dedicated International Education Resource Center (IERC) that facilitates students’ participation in educational foreign mobility programs and invites foreign experts to conduct on-campus seminars, trainings and workshops.[11][12][13]
