Adopting the principle of the “right to education and accessibility of higher education to deserving students,” Far Western University has been delivering diverse educational programs, both at the undergraduate and graduate level, through six faculties including Humanities and Social Sciences, Education, Management, Science and Technology, Engineering, and Agriculture. The university follows a semester academic calendar. The undergraduate courses and graduate courses of the university are of four-year duration and two-year duration respectively. The university has started MPhil and Ph.D. research degrees in February 2021.
