The current study intends to analyse the global perceptions of civic consciousness regarding duties and rights among university students. All the undergraduate students of higher education were the overall population of the study. Research design employed a descriptive approach, and a survey was conducted to collect data. By using a multistage sampling technique, a sample of 350 students was selected. Self-developed questionnaire was validated through expert opinion. Reliability of the tool was ensured by having Cronbach’s Alpha value 0.851. The findings of the study reveal a weak positive correlation between civil duties and civil rights and a moderate correlation between political duties and political rights, social duties and social rights. It was recommended that universities implement education programs that focus on global citizenship, providing experimental learning through internship opportunities that explore the balance between rights and responsibilities.
