Faculties


Faculty of Science

The Faculty of Science was established in 1957 with ties to the then University of Libya in Faculty of Science in Tripoli founded in 1956. It was the first practical college in Libya at that time, and thus became a focus for Libyan students seeking a university degree. The faculty prepares specialists in fundamental and applied sciences, and performs scientific research and studies in various scientific fields

Faculty of Agriculture

The Faculty of Agriculture was established on 27 June 1966 as a college affiliated with the University of Libya (which had their own faculty founded in 1966) and it was the second faculty established in Tripoli. The main aims of the Faculty of Agriculture include preparing highly qualified agricultural engineers in different specializations, performing agricultural research, and providing consultations and technical services.

. In 1971/1972 the Department of Food Science in the Faculty of Engineering joined the Faculty of Agriculture. The Department of Plant Production consisted of five branches: agricultural economics, horticulture, field crops, plant protection, and agricultural engineering. In 1978 these branches changed to become departments and two departments were added to the faculty in the same year (Department of Pasture and Forests and Department of Home Economics). In 1995 the Department of Hydroponics was established at the faculty and the Department of Political Culture was created in 2002 bringing the total number of departments in the faculty to twelve, in addition to the general department that students have a preliminary year before joining specialized scientific departments.

. It was the first Engineering faculty established in Libya. In 1967, the faculty joined the University of Libya and was called the Faculty of Engineering. In 1972; the Faculty of Petroleum Engineering was established at the University of Tripoli, joined by the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Science in 1973. The Faculty of Engineering and other faculties were the core of the University of Tripoli. In 1978, the Nuclear and Electronic Engineering Faculty joined the university. In 1985, the Faculty of Petroleum Engineering was merged with Faculty of Engineering according to the policy of connecting faculties and high institutes with engineering research centers. In 1988, the Nuclear and Electronic Engineering Faculty was merged into the Faculty of Engineering. The Faculty of Engineering has a leading role in its scientific career. In response to this development, the Faculty of Engineering made changes in its academic courses and academic structure. The Faculty of Engineering changed from four departments to fourteen departments to meet the needs and requirements of Libyan society and to achieve its aims and visions.

Faculty of Medicine

Faculty of Medicine was initially planned as part of the main university, but was given more autonomy and a separate administration. It is still geographically adjacent to the main campus in southeast Tripoli. The main teaching hospital is the large Tripoli Medical Center known locally as the TMC. Other teaching facilities are Tripoli Central Hospital, Alkhadra Hospital and Tripoli Children Hospital (Aljala Hospital). After the completion of six academic years of Undergraduate Education, all Medical Graduates are awarded the degrees MBBCh (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery). After seeing that Libyans were going abroad for medical treatment and deciding it was because of a lack of Libyan doctors, the late leader
Muammar Gaddafi Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi (20 October 2011) was a Libyan military officer, revolutionary, politician and political theorist who ruled Libya from 1969 until Killing of Muammar Gaddafi, his assassination by Libyan Anti-Gaddafi ...
ordered the medical school to take 2,000 new students regardless of qualifications, well beyond its 150-student capacity.
