I have the honor to speak to you on behalf of the founders and board of directors of the Palestinian Company for Higher and Technical Education (Gaza University, GU).

The idea of establishing a university started in 2005 by a group of friends from Gaza interested in establishing an independent Palestinian National University in the Gaza Strip, focusing on quality control, and a leading multidisciplinary university with academic and research interests, and a model for a national university that meets international standards in terms of the ability to apply scientific research with societal benefits and to be a university for all Palestinians.

Through GU, we can achieve our ambitions in providing the Palestinian society with educated, scientific youth professionals who belong to this homeland, and meet the society needs and contribute to its development and well-being. Indeed, after painstaking and continuous efforts, facilities, and buildings were established. All-important equipment and devices are introduced to obtain the required credits from the Palestinian Ministry of Education

In 2008, the accreditation of three colleges with their various programs was issued by Palestinian Higher Education Institutions. This only achieved by the continued work and efforts of the board of directors, university presidency, academic and administrative staff inside and outside the university, in cooperation with the local community, and interaction enabled GU to achieve its goals and objectives.

GU was able to obtain not only credits for new faculties and programs, but also was able to gain the trust of the PME, institutions, the local community, and GU students and graduates. This is a source of pride for all of us, especially for a young university that, within a short period of time, now contains nine faculties with diverse and distinguished programs. 

On behalf of the board of directors, I extend my thanks and appreciation to all academic staff for their efforts in participating in the construction of this national institution. I encourage you all to exert strenuous efforts, enhance your giving, and maintain your perseverance to bring our university to a prestigious and distinguished place among similar academic institutions not only in the homeland but also far and wide at the regional level, God willing.

Dear students, on behalf of the board of directors, we thank you for your affiliation with GU. We highly appreciate your keenness to raise the name of the GU, and we encourage you to be the best ambassadors of this university in serving your homeland and your Palestinian community using what you have gained from modern, advanced scientific, academic, and technological expertise.

Finally, we pledge to God and everyone to work continuously for the advancement of our university to become a leading and distinguished higher education institution at the national and regional levels.

I have the honor to speak to you on behalf of the founders and board of directors of the Palestinian Company for Higher and Technical Education (Gaza University, GU).

The idea of establishing a university started in 2005 by a group of friends from Gaza interested in establishing an independent Palestinian National University in the Gaza Strip, focusing on quality control, and a leading multidisciplinary university with academic and research interests, and a model for a national university that meets international standards in terms of the ability to apply scientific research with societal benefits and to be a university for all Palestinians.

Through GU, we can achieve our ambitions in providing the Palestinian society with educated, scientific youth professionals who belong to this homeland, and meet the society needs and contribute to its development and well-being. Indeed, after painstaking and continuous efforts, facilities, and buildings were established. All-important equipment and devices are introduced to obtain the required credits from the Palestinian Ministry of Education

In 2008, the accreditation of three colleges with their various programs was issued by Palestinian Higher Education Institutions. This only achieved by the continued work and efforts of the board of directors, university presidency, academic and administrative staff inside and outside the university, in cooperation with the local community, and interaction enabled GU to achieve its goals and objectives.

GU was able to obtain not only credits for new faculties and programs, but also was able to gain the trust of the PME, institutions, the local community, and GU students and graduates. This is a source of pride for all of us, especially for a young university that, within a short period of time, now contains nine faculties with diverse and distinguished programs. 

On behalf of the board of directors, I extend my thanks and appreciation to all academic staff for their efforts in participating in the construction of this national institution. I encourage you all to exert strenuous efforts, enhance your giving, and maintain your perseverance to bring our university to a prestigious and distinguished place among similar academic institutions not only in the homeland but also far and wide at the regional level, God willing.

Dear students, on behalf of the board of directors, we thank you for your affiliation with GU. We highly appreciate your keenness to raise the name of the GU, and we encourage you to be the best ambassadors of this university in serving your homeland and your Palestinian community using what you have gained from modern, advanced scientific, academic, and technological expertise.

Finally, we pledge to God and everyone to work continuously for the advancement of our university to become a leading and distinguished higher education institution at the national and regional levels.
