The opening as it read in 2025

University of Palestine ( UP ; Arabic : جامعة فلسطين ) is a private university in Al-Zahra' , Gaza Strip , Palestine . The university was established in 2005, making it one of Gaza's youngest higher education institutions. Across its seven colleges, UP offers four non-degree diploma programs in addition to its standard four-year programs. Besides its Al-Zahra headquarters, it has subsidiary branches in Khan Younis and Beit Lahiya . The university's primary scholarship system is merit-based, with award amounts largely dependent on students' Tawjihi scores; it also offers legacy financial aid. The university offers an open access repository for scholarly output by research centers, faculty staff and students, as well as a published Arabic Lightweight OpenCourseWare. Along with a stadium, the university also had a legal clinic, multiple medical clinics, an English Language Proficiency Center, a 30,000-book library and an engineering office. UP has cooperative partnerships with multiple international universities, primarily in the Middle East, including Cairo University , Alexandria University, Daffodil International University in Bangladesh, Universitat de Barcelona , and others. UP's main campus was destroyed by the Israeli military on January 17, 2024.
