Welcome to the Department of Sociology and Criminology at GC Women University, Sialkot, Pakistan.

It is both an honour and a privilege to serve as the Chairperson of this dynamic and intellectually vibrant department. Sociology and Criminology are disciplines that enable us to critically understand society, human behaviour, institutions, inequalities, social change, crime, justice, and the challenges faced by contemporary communities. In an increasingly complex world, these fields have become more relevant than ever before.

Our department is committed to academic excellence, critical inquiry, research innovation, and community engagement. We strive to equip our students not only with theoretical knowledge but also with the practical, analytical, and professional skills required to address real-world social problems. Through rigorous teaching, research activities, fieldwork, seminars, and collaborative learning, we aim to develop graduates who are socially responsible, ethically grounded, and professionally competent.

The Department of Sociology and Criminology at GCWUS provides a stimulating environment where students are encouraged to think independently, challenge conventional assumptions, and contribute meaningfully to society. We believe that education is not merely the acquisition of degrees; rather, it is the development of vision, character, leadership, and a deep understanding of social realities.

Our faculty members are dedicated scholars and mentors who are passionate about teaching, research, and student development. We continuously endeavour to maintain high academic standards and to foster an inclusive, supportive, and research-oriented atmosphere within the department.

I warmly welcome all students, researchers, parents, and visitors to our department. I invite you to explore the opportunities, academic programs, and achievements of our department, and to join us in our mission of promoting knowledge, social awareness, justice, and positive societal transformation.

Together, let us build a future rooted in knowledge, compassion, critical thinking, and social responsibility.

Prof. Dr. Yasir Nawaz Manj
