The university is currently located in Kohat (main campus), Islamabad, Peshawar, Lahore, Karachi. It is recognized by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC).

Preston University has received two charters: the first from the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, known as Preston University Kohat, and the second from the Government of Sindh, referred to as Preston University Karachi. Preston University Karachi previously operated two campuses in Ajman, UAE; however, these were closed in 2015 due to accreditation challenges with the UAE government. As the first private university established in Pakistan, Preston University now boasts one of the largest networks of campuses across the nation, with notable locations including the Karachi City Campus and the Islamabad City Campus.
