Birzeit University
The Spirit of Birzeit, a feeling that welcomes you at the university’s gates. Here, you look forward to experiencing life.
Here, there is a lot to learn, discover, and master.
Here, we shape the minds that shape the Palestinian nation.
Whether in classrooms, cafeterias, fields, or auditoriums, you will experience an environment where modernity, diversity, and pluralism, whether politically, socially, or culturally, reign supreme. Here, we encourage uniqueness and nurture individuality.
In an environment characterized by mutual respect, you will engage in a new learning experience with professors who want you to lead. At Birzeit University, you never stop learning.
At Birzeit, you walk side by side with students and professors in hallowed halls and classrooms, where musical notes rival mathematical variables.
At Birzeit, knowledge can be found not only in lectures and libraries, but in workshops, symposia, and conferences; in hallways, on benches, and under trees. At Birzeit, you learn to trust your instincts and probe the ends of erudition.
At Birzeit, you hear discussions in hallways and endless debates in classrooms, free of any academic constraints or bureaucratic hindrances. Here, the mind is free to wander in a green campus as fertile as the imagination of the students.
At Birzeit, you engage in the truest form of politics. Here, you listen, understand, and make your own choice. You learn by applying, and apply by learning.
At Birzeit, you question before you answer and doubt before you believe.
What started as a small school became a great national institution; a mini-Palestine where dreams are realized and hopes for the future flare. Birzeit has become home to the thinkers, tinkerers, dreamers, achievers, intellectuals, and creators of Palestine.
Birzeit’s connection to the Palestinian community, whether here or abroad, has never been stronger. Birzeit is part of the fabric that creates Palestine, the lens through which we see the future generation of independent Palestinians.
Once you set foot on campus, you are greeted by the various colors, sights, and sounds of Palestine. The buildings are buzzing with the energy and renewed hope of a Palestinian youth determined to create a brighter future.
Once you set foot inside Birzeit, you are carrying a piece of Palestine with you wherever you go.
