University of Khartoum: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    The University of Khartoum is a public university in Khartoum, Sudan. It suits students who want a large national university in the country’s capital and are comparing options within Sudan.

  2. What you can study

    The university’s academic profile is not broken down by subject area or programme on the information available here. It is described as the largest and oldest university in Sudan, so the main step is to check the current programme catalogue on the official website before applying.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should use the university website to confirm the current entry requirements, document list, deadlines, and whether the programme they want is open to students from abroad. The university’s admissions office should also confirm how applications are submitted and whether any country-specific or programme-specific steps apply.

  4. What it costs

    A tuition fee for international students is not published. Confirm the current fee directly with the admissions office, and check whether costs are listed in USD as shown for the university. Living costs in Khartoum will depend on housing, transport, food, and personal spending, so plan a separate budget.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The university is in Sudan and the language of instruction is not stated here, so confirm that before applying. Before you move, check visa requirements, the programme language, document translation needs, accommodation options, and how tuition and living costs are paid.

  6. How it compares

    There are 35 universities in Sudan, so this institution sits in a fairly small national higher-education market. Its scale and age make it one of the main reference points for applicants who want a public university in Khartoum rather than a smaller regional option.

Written from this university's catalogue entry and its cited encyclopedia summary. Figures are only shown where the institution or a cited source publishes them — always confirm fees and entry requirements with the university itself before applying.
