Université Ez-Zitouna

1. 1

   The short answer

   Université Ez-Zitouna is a public university in Tunisia with a focus on Islamic studies and theology. It suits students who want to study these subjects in Tunis and can work with a small, specialised university structure.

2. 2

   What you can study

   Students can study through the Oldest and Higher Institute of Theology, the Higher Institute of Islamic Civilisation in Tunis, and the Centre of Islamic Studies in Kairouan. The institution is centred on Islamic learning and related fields; a fuller programme catalogue is not published in the information available, so confirm current options on the university website.

3. 3

   Getting in

   International applicants should check the university website for entry requirements, language requirements, document lists, and application deadlines. The university does not publish a detailed admissions process here, so confirm the current procedure with the admissions office before applying.

4. 4

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Tunis and Kairouan will still need to be planned separately, including housing, transport, food, and visa-related expenses.

5. 5

   Coming from abroad

   The university website is available at http://www.uz.rnu.tn/. The language of instruction is not published here, so confirm that first, then check visa steps, document legalisation, health cover, and whether your chosen institute is based in Tunis or Kairouan.

   How it compares

   Tunisia has 19 universities, and Ez-Zitouna stands out as one of the country’s more specialised public options rather than a broad multi-faculty university. It is a better fit for students looking for theology, Islamic civilisation, and Islamic studies than for those seeking a wide subject mix.
