Below is a list of best universities in Pakistan ranked based on their research performance in Fashion Design. A graph of 82.4K citations received by 10.8K academic papers made by 63 universities in Pakistan was used to calculate publications' ratings, which then were adjusted for release dates and added to final scores.

We don't distinguish between undergraduate and graduate programs nor do we adjust for current majors offered. You can find information about granted degrees on a university page but always double-check with the university website.
