About Al-Quds University
Al-Quds University is a leading Palestinian academic institution based in Jerusalem, with a mission of providing quality education, research, and community service. It is deeply rooted in the cultural and spiritual heritage of Al-Quds and is committed to advancing intellectual freedom, academic excellence, and social justice.
Despite being under political and economic pressures, Al-Quds continues to be a beacon of knowledge and hope for Palestinians, educating future leaders in medicine, law, technology, and more. Al-Quds University stands as a symbol for academic excellence amidst occupation and hardship. Many students face financial obstacles, often making higher education inaccessible.
The Old City of Jerusalem faces increasing marginalisation and pressure, and its communities require structured, sustainable support.
