Al-Furat University
Al-Furat University (Arabic: جَامِعَةُ الْفُرَات, romanized: Jāmiʿatu l-Furāt) is a Syrian public university founded in 2006.[2] It is located mainly in Deir ez-Zor, which hosts the medical school, and has campuses in other cities in Syria.[2] Before 2011 it was the smallest public university in Syria.[3] The university runs its own open access journal.[4] The responsible authority for the campus in Deir ez-Zor is the Ministry of Higher Education (Syria).[2] Before 2011 the university taught undergraduate and post-graduated medicine to an internationally recognised standard.[2] In 2014 Islamic State imposed behavioural conditions on the staff and students of the university's Raqqa campus to remain open.[5] In January 2015 they forced the campus to close.[5] As of 2021, its Raqqa campus is now the site of al-Sharq University opened by the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria.[6] Due to the Syrian civil war, the University and its campuses have been sites of conflict. On the 28th of January 2017, students were reportedly at risk from active combat on and around the Deir ez-Zor campus.[7][8] In 2022 during the Battle of al-Hasakah, the Economics building of the Al-Hasakah campus was bombed by Combined Joint Task Force planes targeting Islamic State fighters.[9]  References
