Subject: Option to switch to course-based Master’s program

Dear student,

The University has formally approved launching of course based Master’s program in various disciplines
currently being offered at the University. Further, as a one-time facilitation for the currently enrolled
Master’s students, the University has also approved to given an option to the students if they want to
switch to the course-based Master’s degree. However, you should feel no compulsion as to avail this
option, and in fact, the University encourages the students to pursue research-based degree programs.
But if you still want to avail this option, then you should bear in mind the following points:

 Switching to the course-based option does not involve any change at all in your required degree
completion time. Your admission will still be counted from the date of your initial enrollment in
the Master’s program and hence the degree completion time would stay the same;
 A course-based Master’s degree will not make you eligible for admission in PhD program at UET
Peshawar.
 Requirements for completing a course-based master’s degree include a total of 36 credit hours
(including a 3 credit hour mini-research project) with a CGPA of at least 2.67 (B-). The course
work shall include a minimum of 8 courses from the core area of specialization;
 Any additional courses (including the mini-project) that you would have to register to complete
the requirements of course-based degree shall be paid for at the rationalized fee basis. This
condition shall apply regardless of the fact whether your current enrollment status is on the
basis of open-merit or rationalized fee basis;
 Once you switch to the course-based program, the transfer shall be final and you will not be
able to switch back to the research based program for any reason;

The offer to switch to course-based program is a one-time offer to currently enrolled students and
should you choose to stay in the research-based program, the option cannot be exercised in any future
semesters.

In view of the above, if you are still willing to switch to the course-based Master’s program, then please
submit a duly notarized sworn statement on judicial stamp paper, as per attached sample, latest by ----
th February to the Chairman/Director of your department/institute.
