Al-Quds University

Founded 1984 (formed by merger of 4 pre-existing East Jerusalem colleges; ONLY Palestinian university with East Jerusalem presence). THE ONLY PALESTINIAN UNIVERSITY WITH EAST JERUSALEM PRESENCE. Founded 1984 by merger of 4 pre-existing colleges in East Jerusalem (Faculty of Sharia 1958, Arab College of Medical Sciences, Arab College of Pharmacology, College of Arts and Sciences). Multi-campus including East Jerusalem and Abu Dis. ~13,000+ students. Distinguished medical school (Al-Quds is one of two Palestinian medical schools alongside An-Najah). CRITICAL CONTEXT: Israeli SEPARATION BARRIER physically DIVIDES Al-Quds main campus from East Jerusalem — the wall runs through campus area. Students from West Bank with PA IDs face severe restrictions accessing East Jerusalem facilities. International collaborations complex due to jurisdictional layers (Israeli authority East Jerusalem + PA authority elsewhere). Faisal Husseini founding figure (Palestinian leader, died 2001).
