The idea of establishing Al-Manar University of Tripoli (MUT) dates to 1958, when the late Prime Minister Mr. Rashid Karami, together with educator Mr. Muhieddine Makkouk, a select group of leading citizens of Tripoli, decided to launch a project to meet the educational concerns of North Lebanon. In 1966, they formally established "Al-Manar Society," a non-profit organization dedicated to providing quality education to students of North Lebanon and other regions of the Arab World. During the years that followed, the SocietySociety focused tremendous effort on acquiring land suitable for establishing a world-class university campus. Through a combination of purchase and grant, the SocietySociety successfully secured 255,000 m2 of separate land plots at a location known as "Baal Al-Ghandour." With continued perseverance by H.E. Omar Karami, aided by a special governmental Decree, the scattered areas of land were redistributed to form one uniform plot of land designated for the university campus. Today, the broad area dedicated to constructing the MUT campus and its ancillaries stands at 150,561 m2. After the assassination of H.E. Mr. Rashid Karami, Prime Minister Omar Karami assumed the Chairmanship of "Al-Manar Society" and formed the first University Board of Trustees in 1990. The Board was chaired by H.E. Omar Karami and 18 other prominent members of SocietySociety from Lebanon and the Arab World, each offering a unique combination of skills and financial support. The Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al-Nahyan Charitable & Humanitarian Foundation donated funds to construct MUT's Central Library. Mr. Abdel Majid Shoman donated funds to construct MUT's Abd el Hamid Shoman Arts & Sciences Building. H.E. Mr. Moustafa Durneika donated funds to construct MUT's Administration Building, all of which currently stand as a shimmering attestation to the University's bright future as a beacon of knowledge for generations to follow. The Faculty of Architecture and Design (FAD) provides a faculty team of outstanding designers, artists, architects, and scholars. Students undergo an educational experience underscored by rigorous requirements and reviews. They have educated on the premise that design is an art, and making art requires design. The notion of design at FAD is predicted on the marriage of science and the fine arts. Philosophically, FAD believes in the value of holistic education, one that balances the emphasis on the professional major with an equally important expectation that a student be versed in the humanities, literature, and the social sciences. This combination ensures that focused study is supplemented by a broad understanding of the context in which designers, artists, and art educators pursue their chosen fields of work. The mission of the Faculty of Business Administration at MUT is an integral part of the MUT Mission. The faculty was established to satisfy the needs of the local community and students from outside Lebanon. The Business Faculty accomplishes its mission by fostering the following majors: Management, Marketing, Finance, Accounting, Economics, Management Information System, and Hospitality and Tourism. The variety of the Business programs will provide enrolled students with the proper and necessary skills to find the right solutions to the business organizations in general and contribute to the economic development and growth of SocietySociety in particular. Public Health is the science and art of promoting health, well-being, preventing disease and injuries, prolonging life, and improving quality of life through organized efforts for the sanitation of the environment, the control of communicable infections, the organization of paramedical services for the early diagnosis and prevention of disease, the education of the individual in personal health and the development of the social infrastructure to assure everyone an adequate standard of living. The mission of the Faculty of Public Health is to advance public health knowledge, promote health and well-being, and prevent disease and disabilities within communities in Lebanon and the Arab world in general. The faculty strives to accomplish this goal through excellence in education, fostering research opportunities, and service to communities through collaborative partnerships. The faculty is comprised of three academic units: the departments of environmental and occupational health (EOH), nursing (NUR), and nutrition (NUT). The Faculty of Science is committed to providing quality education and research facilities. The faculty strives to become the leading faculty in science among other universities by focusing on the importance of research in the advancement of science and bridge the gap between local industries and the academic sector, which will aid in the development of the country's economy. The Faculty of Science is willing to produce mature graduates where capabilities in science and technology shall assist them in playing a constructive role in national development. To achieve this objective, the faculty shall be engaged in the various programs such as teaching, research, academic exchange, consultancy, and any other means that together shall provide practically oriented education.

Yarmouk University (YU) was established in June 1976 by a Royal Decree. Yarmouk University has developed steadily into one of the largest and most prestigious state-supported educational institutions in Jordan. We currently have 27850 students, 936 faculty members, and 1740 administrative and technical staff spread over 13 faculties that offer 56 bachelor degree programs, 63 master degree programs, and 19 Ph.D. programs in various specializations. We also have 11 centers for research and career development. The University has carved a unique niche for itself in northern Jordan through the diversity of its programs, which aim to strike a fair balance between the humanities on the one hand and science and engineering specializations on the other. We hope to inspire our young students by offering various specializations combined with excellence in teaching, opportunities for community service and extra-curricular activities, and encouragement of innovation. Our aim is not merely to produce degree-holders but rather productive citizens with integrity, vision, reasoning, tolerance, and a sense of purpose. In recent years, the phenomenon of globalization, coupled with an overall economic decline, has resulted in an unprecedented scarcity of employment opportunities almost everywhere – Jordan is no exception. At Yarmouk University, we aim to combat this challenge by offering courses and training programs for both students and staff through our centers and by partnering with business, industry, NGO’s, and other local or foreign institutions. Several companies have established incubators at the university to offer students training and work experience that prepares them for the broader job market and creates a climate conducive to entrepreneurship and innovation. Research is also one of Yarmouk University’s top priorities, especially within Jordan’s social, economic, environmental, and developmental needs. Several research projects are currently underway in partnership with local and international institutions. Also, the recent establishment of technology transfer offices in public universities, including ours, has served to encourage the commercialization of research findings and inventions – a development that many researchers find appealing. Much has been accomplished over the past three and a half decades since establishing this outstanding institution, but much still needs to be done. When the University was established in 1976, the then Faculty of Arts and Science included specializations in science, arts, economics, and administrative sciences. The departments of Arabic, English, Humanities, and Social Sciences were the core of the Faculty of Arts, established in 1981. View full university

UJ is looking to reach the highest level of excellence. However, it is also trying to apply the principles of total quality management and use the latest information technologies in its programs and strategies. The University of Jordan has achieved advanced positions in various international rankings: UJ is one of the best 600 Universities worldwide, one of the best 10 Arab universities, and it has recently achieved four stars according to QS. Also, UJ has gained many international accreditations for its programs, such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, engineering, rehabilitation, and other disciplines. Our mission is to provide students with fulfilling learning experiences, conduct knowledge-producing research, and build strong social ties within an environment conducive to creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship making efficient use of resources and forging fruitful partnerships. The University of Jordan is celebrating its Golden Jubilee amid ever-growing global challenges to higher education. Over the past 50 years, the University has made great strides in becoming Jordan's leading and most comprehensive University that has provided successive generations with a solid education. That has contributed fundamentally to the making of modern Jordan. Much has been accomplished, and much is currently being done. There remains, however, much more to be done and ample space for improvement. The challenges of the times and the needs of a knowledge-based society make it imperative that the University charts new strategies for meeting the challenges and gaining global recognition. Excellence in education has been and will remain a priority for the University. However, there is a need to streamline academic programs in a manner that guarantees continued excellence while simultaneously meeting the demands of the rapidly-changing domestic, regional, and global job markets. The University will continue adapting to the internationally accepted best practices, and its faculty members will be encouraged to adopt blended-learning approaches. It will also vigorously seek to prepare its students for entrepreneurial careers by spreading entrepreneurship culture through integrating entrepreneurship education into curricula campus-wide. The University will focus on developing research capacity to meet domestic, regional, and global challenges. Providing a conducive research environment that promotes world-class scholarly activities is a high priority. The University's quest for global recognition necessitates establishing and nurturing Centers of Excellence that maintain a balance of basic and applied research and promote industry-oriented applied research and commercialization of research and development. Encouraging and supporting Business Incubators on- and off-campus will be high on the University's agenda. Faculty members will be encouraged to get involved and take initiatives in this regard. The University will also focus on transforming its students, faculty, and staff into global citizens capable of engaging not only each other but also people and cultures worldwide. We will seek to enhance campus diversity and further internationalize the student and faculty bodies. We envision the University as an intellectual and cultural melting pot that reflects positively on the values, lives, and careers of those affiliated with it. Students and faculty alike will be encouraged to contribute to University policy-making rather than be on the receiving end. With the University's internationalization initiatives, the dedication and hard work of its academic and administrative staff, and its students' excellence and creativity, the University will continue to lead the society and be Jordan's laboratory for innovation cradle of science and culture. They will pursue initiatives that will propel it towards joining the world-renowned universities' league in the not-so-distant future. View full university

Alexandria University is a public research university in Alexandria, Egypt. It was established in 1938 as a satellite of Fuad University (the name of which was later changed to Cairo University), becoming an independent entity in 1942. It was known as Farouk University until the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, when its name was changed to the University of Alexandria. Taha Hussein was the founding rector of Alexandria University. It is now the second-largest University in Egypt and has many affiliations to various universities for ongoing research. Alexandria University supervised the establishment of four faculties in the Nile Delta. Those were: Faculty of Medicine (1962) and Faculties of Science (1969) in Tanta (currently Tanta University), Education and Agriculture (1969) in Kafr-Elsheikh (currently Kafr-Elsheikh University). In 1938, the Alexandria University's nucleus (formerly known as Farouk University) had its beginning in the form of two faculties of Fouad the First University. These were the faculties of Arts and Law. The faculty of Engineering was then established in 1941. In light of the need to develop more disciplines for higher learning and meet the need of the people of Alexandria, Alexandria University became a separate entity in August 1942 with four additional faculties: Science, Commerce, Medicine, and Agriculture. In 1952, it became "Alexandria University." Since then, the University has witnessed growth and expansion in several fields: the number of Faculties and high institutes increased to 22.

As the third Egyptian University, Ain Shams University was founded in July 1950 under the name of "Ibrahim Pasha University." It participated with the two earlier universities, "Cairo University" (Fua'd the 1st ) and "Alexandria University" (Farouk the 1st), in fulfilling the message of universities and meeting the increasing demand of youth for higher education. When it was first established, Ain Shams University comprised several distinguished faculties and academic institutes, which were later developed into University. After the revolution of the 23 rd of July 1952, it was suggested that Egyptian universities be given names that were strongly linked with the roots and historical landmarks of the country. Thus on 21 st of February 1954, the name of the University was changed to "Heliopolis," and then changed in the same year to its present name "Ain Shams," the Arabic for "Heliopolis," or "On," which was the oldest University in history. "On" University was established about 5000 years ago, and it had a wide fame as a center of knowledge and learning, especially in astronomy, engineering, and medicine. Perhaps a perfect example of "On" teachers' knowledge and skill is Imhotep, the chief priest, minister, and architect. They, in 2700 B.C., designed the first large structure of stone known in history, Zoser's Step Pyramid in Sakkara. Westcar Papyrus also states that the founder of the Fifth Dynasty was the Rector of "On" University before ascending the throne. However, the most important achievement of "On" University was the call for worshipping a single deity, the solar disk of Aton, at the hands of Akhenaton, who was influenced by the ideas of "On" priests. The University is now located in the Zaafaran Palace area, built during the regime of Khedive Ismail. The Palace was so named because the area surrounding it was famous for saffron (in Arabic Zaafaran) plantations. The Palace was used to host the Egyptian University administration offices when it was established in 1925. It was used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (as a guest house) for accommodating important visitors. The Palace also witnessed the signing of the 1936 Treaty between Egypt and Great Britain. Finally, in 1952, it came to be used as the administrative headquarters of Ain Shams University. Being a major scientific and cultural institution, Ain Shams University is fully aware of these challenges. It is confident that it has - with other Egyptian Universities - a problematic challenging responsibility for creating the generation. In 1973 the faculty of Al-Alsun was made the tenth member in the University. However, the history of this faculty dates back to 1835. In 1994, a decree was issued to establish two more faculties, the faculty of Pharmacy and the faculty of Dentistry; the actual study was started the following year in both faculties. In the same year, it was decided to establish the faculty of Computers and Information Sciences, and the study started the following year. The last faculty to join the University is the faculty of Specific Education, in 1998. Faculty of Nursing was established in 1980, and the Institute of Childhood Postgraduates Studies was established in 1981. The establishment of the Institute of Environmental Research and Studies was in 1982. Ain Shams University comprises seven campuses, all of which are situated in Great Cairo. The university administration, faculties of Arts, Law, and Science are all located on the main campus, El-khalifa El Mamoon Street, Abbasi. The faculties of Commerce, Al-Alsun (languages), Pharmacy, Dentistry, Computer and Information Sciences, Institute of Postgraduate Childhood and Institute of Environmental Studies and Research, and the specialized Hospital are located on the second campus on the other side of the street above. Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Nursing and the university hospitals are located on another campus at Abassia. Faculties of Engineering, Specific Education, Education, Women, and Agriculture are located on a separate campus in Abbasi, Heliopolis, and Shoubra El-Kheema.
