AccreditationMinistry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Republic of Yemen (وزارة التعليم العالي والبحث العلمي) — apex regulator for Yemeni HEIs. ⚠️⚠️ DIVIDED CONTROL since 2014-2015 Yemeni Civil War: separate MoHE administrations operate in HOUTHI-CONTROLLED NORTH (capital Sana'a, controls most public unis in north including Sana'a U, Ibb U, Hodeidah U, Thamar U, Amran U, 21 September Univ) vs INTERNATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED GOVERNMENT SOUTH (effective capital Aden, controls University of Aden, Hadhramout U, Al-Bayda U, parts of Taiz U). Yemeni HE: (1) PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES — Sana'a U (1970 capital flagship), University of Aden (1975 from PDRY socialist south), Taiz U, Ibb U, Hadhramout U, Thamar U, Hodeidah U, Amran U, Al-Bayda U; (2) PRIVATE COMPREHENSIVE — University of Science and Technology Yemen (UST), Queen Arwa U, Al-Andalous U, Future U; (3) ISLAMIC — Al-Ahgaff U (Sufi Sunni Shafi'i), Al-Iman U (Salafi); (4) MEDICAL SPECIALIZED — 21 September Univ for Medical and Applied Sciences (Houthi-affiliated, sanctions concerns); plus various smaller institutes. Total ~50 HEIs. Arabic is national language + HE primary medium; English-medium programmes at private + medical institutions. ⚠️ STUDENTS: VERIFY OPERATIONAL STATUS + safety before applying — Yemen is in ACTIVE CIVIL WAR + WORLD'S WORST HUMANITARIAN CRISIS per UN (~370K+ deaths since 2015). Many universities damaged, faculty displaced, programs disrupted.
Founded 2015 chartered by Houthi authorities AFTER they captured Sana'a; named after 21 SEPTEMBER 2014 — date Houthis took Sana'a; controversial Houthi-affiliated medical institution). ⚠️⚠️ HOUTHI-AFFILIATED PRIVATE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY. Chartered 2015 by Houthi authorities AFTER they captured Sana'a. NAMED AFTER 21 SEPTEMBER 2014 — DATE HOUTHIS TOOK SANA'A (the founding date of Houthi rule of Yemeni capital). ~3,000 students. ⚠️ CRITICAL: INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION COMPLEX due to Houthi affiliation + US/UK/UAE/Saudi designations of Houthis as terrorist organization (changing periodically). Yemeni Ministry in Sana'a (Houthi) recognizes; internationally-recognized government in Aden may not. Students should verify recognition very carefully.
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
