The University of Libya was divided into two institutions in 1976: the University of Tripoli, situated in the region's capital in the northwest, and the University of Benghazi, located in the country's second metropolitan area in the northeast. As a result of the division, each university was authorized to form its own designation; hence, the University of Tripoli and in 1976 the University of Benghazi both entities were entitled to Al-Fateh University and Garyouins University, respectively. During the 2011 Libyan Civil War, the title of Garyounis University was once more transformed to the University of Benghazi.[1]
The University of Benghazi consists of 23 faculties and 230 departments and institutes in Benghazi city. Nonetheless, in 2020, the Faculty of Arts dissolved one of its literary faculties into two sections, increasing the overall number of faculties to 24. In addition, the university's campuses and scientific institutes occupy a total area of approximately 500 hectares (1,200 acres),[citation needed] and over 85,000 undergraduate students and 3,000 postgraduate students.
On April 17, 2016, the Libyan National Army overpowered the militants who had seized the University and the surrounding territory in order to train their troops while launching missiles towards the city.[2] During the civil war the students of the University of Benghazi students had been dispersed to many primary, secondary and high schools in order to complete their educations.
Amal Bayou was one of the university's professors.[3]
