UNIVERSITY OF HARGEISA
Background
The university is presently situated in a
one-square kilometre of land that used to be a
boarding secondary school before the collapse of
the military regime of Siyad Barre. The campus
and its buildings later became an unofficial
Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp and then
a militia barracks. Following much deliberation
and intensive campaigns, the old school grounds
were transformed into a University in the year
2000. The university is in the heart of the
Somaliland capital, Hargeisa and is very
strategically placed to serve the educational
needs of both local city residents and
international staff residing in the capital.
The university is currently running five
faculties:
1. Faculty of Business Administration
2. Faculty of Islamic Studies
3. Faculty of science
4. Faculty of Medicine
5. Faculty of law
