Hebron University
Hebron University is the largest university in
Palestine. It is an independent, public and non-profit institution of higher education. Established in
1971 as a college of
Sharia law, the institution now serves the entire southern area of the
West Bank and provides education in a wide range of subjects.
The University's constitution ensures equal opportunities for all, regardless of gender, religion or race, and states that no Palestinian student should be prevented from continuing his/her higher education for financial reason.
The university is not recognised in some western states. Israel in particular has criticised Hebron as a centre of incitement, preaching extreme Islamic views and encouraging
terrorism.
