Sudanese Higher Education

by admin

 The University of DalanJ, also known as El-Dalang University, located in the city of Dalang, was established in 1994 and is part of the Sudanese government’s ongoing effort to expand opportunities in higher education throughout the nation of Sudan.

flag of SudanThe Republic of Sudan, sometimes known as North Sudan, is located in North Africa, and is also considered part of the Middle East. Sudanese Arabic is one of over a hundred languages spoken throughout the Republic. The official languages of the country, as established in 2005, are Arabic and English.  The Republic of Sudan is over 97% Islamic, primarily Sunni Muslims, including Ansar Sunnis and Khatmia Sunnis.

Other educational institutions had departments and/or faculties transferred to the University of DalanJ. Specifically, the Faculties of both Education and Agricultural Science of the University of Kordofan were transferred to it in 1994. Also, the South Kordofan Institute of Education became a part of DalanJ.  

The colleges of study at the university are currently

  • ·         The Center for Peace Studies and Development
  • ·         The Center of Technical Information
  • ·         The Faculty of Agricultural Sciences
  • ·         The Faculty of Community Development
  • ·         The Faculty of Education
  • ·         The Faculty of Teachers

 The University of Kordofan, located in El-Obied, currently has an active Faculty of Education under the aegis of DalanJ, but no Faculty of Agricultural Science. The University of Kordofan (also spelled Kurdufan) also has an e-learning program.  The universities of DalanJ and Kordofan are linked by a paved road.

The Faculties at the University of Kordofan are:

  • ·         Faculty of Art
  • ·         Faculty of Education
  • ·         Faculty of Science
  • ·         Faculty of Commercial Studies
  • ·         Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences
  • ·         Faculty of Engineering and technical studies
  • ·         Faculty of Computer Studies and Statistics
  • ·         Faculty of Natural Resources & Environmental Studies
