Our Story

Darulaman University was founded in 2015 in Kabul by a group of Afghan educators and engineers who believed that quality higher education should be accessible to the young generation of Afghanistan. The university began with a single faculty, 180 students, and one rented building on Darulaman Road in Kabul.

From the very first year, our focus has been practical: computer science, information technology, and business education that prepares graduates for real jobs. Over the past decade the university has grown to six academic programs, a permanent campus building, and more than 1,200 enrolled students.

Our Mission

To provide accessible, career-oriented higher education that equips Afghan students with the knowledge, skills, and character they need to serve their communities and build the future of Afghanistan.

Our Motto

Knowledge is Light is inspired by the Dari proverb Danesh roshanai ast. We believe education is the light that guides both the individual and the nation.
