Birzeit University, located just north of Ramallah, is the oldest and most prestigious Palestinian university, founded in 1924 as a girls’ school before evolving into a full university by the 1970s. Today, it stands as a symbol of Palestinian resilience, academic excellence, and national identity. With its hillside campus overlooking olive groves and stone villages, Birzeit University provides an inspiring environment where education and culture thrive side by side.

The university is internationally recognized for its strong academic programs, vibrant student community, and role in promoting intellectual freedom. Beyond academics, Birzeit has been central to Palestinian political, cultural, and social life, serving as a hub for student activism and creative expression. It remains not only a place of learning but also a guardian of Palestinian identity in the face of ongoing challenges.
