After the independence in 1947, the only functioning university in the newly founded nation of Pakistan was the University of Punjab providing services to the developed parts of the Punjab province. The area constituted as the Sindh province came under the academic coverage of University of Bombay which had now become a part of India.

A formal academic centre was therefore needed for Sindh and under the constitutional act no. XVII titled 'University of Sindh', a resolution was passed by the Legislative Assembly of Sindh thus giving birth to this new university in the nation's capital of Karachi^. The act was subsequently revised and modified in 1961 and years to come. However, it was the act of 1972 that provided for greater autonomy and representation of teachers, under which the university currently functions.

In the years after the independence from 1947 to 1955, Hyderabad was declared as the capital of Sindh and the university operations were relocated from Karachi to Hyderabad in 1951 where it formally started functioning as a teaching institution in pursuit of fulfilment of its charter and mission to disseminate knowledge^.

The University of Sindh (Sindhi: سنڌ يونيورسٽي) (Urdu: جامعه سندھ‎) informally known as Sindh University (abbreviated SU or USindh) is the second oldest university in Pakistan accredited by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan^.It is founded between 1947 to 1951. However, when it moved from Karachi to Hyderabad in 1951, it started functioning as a full-fledged teaching university.
