  2. What you can study

    The programme catalogue is still being compiled. The university is a public institution in Benghazi, and no subject areas or degree programmes are listed here, so check the official website for the current list of courses and study levels.

  3. Getting in

  6. How it compares

    Libya has 11 universities, so this is one option in a relatively small national higher-education landscape. Its main distinguishing points are that it is public and located in Benghazi; programme breadth, tuition, and student services need to be checked directly before you compare it with other Libyan universities.
