University of Khartoum

The University of Khartoum, established in 1956, is a prominent institution of higher learning in Sudan. It originated from the University College of Khartoum, which was formed in 1951 by merging two smaller colleges founded during the British colonial era. The university was reorganized in 1969 and again in 1992, as part of broader reforms to Sudan's educational system. While Arabic is the primary language of instruction in primary schools, English was formerly the medium in universities before being largely replaced by Arabic. The University of Khartoum is one of several universities in the country, including others located in Khartoum such as Al-Neelain University and Sudan University of Science and Technology. The capital city of Sudan is Khartoum.12
