About

Al-Furat University (Arabic: جَامِعَةُ الْفُرَات, romanized: Jāmiʿatu l-Furāt) is a Syrian public university founded in July 2006. It is located mainly in Deir ez-Zor, which hosts the medical school, and has campuses in Raqqa and Al-Hasakah. Before 2011 it was the smallest public university in Syria. The university runs its own open access journal. The responsible authority for the campuses in Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa is the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

Before 2011 the university taught undergraduate and post-graduated medicine to an internationally recognised standard.
