Palestine Technical University Khadouri

The history of PTUK has been closely associated with the historical development of the Palestinian issue. It also had been directly affected by those who ruled the area, such as the British mandate and the Jordanian rule up to present day Palestinian Authority and the State of Palestine as a member of the UN member states. Under the current President of PTUK, Prof. Marwan Awartan, PTUK lead the way to open new frontiers in innovation, invention and quality assurance. The university achieved approval of new programs in Agriculture, Building Engineering, Chemistry, Physics and Computer System Engineering. It has also won official approval to establish a brand new college which is the Agriculture College. The very first Master degree program in Agriculture was accredited only a few months ago. There are still other several programs waiting to be approved. Many collaboration agreements were established with national and international universities and other international bodies. The aim here was to open the door for PTUK to enter the research and scientific discovery and thus join the ranks of other reputable universities in the region and around the world. In fact a new deanship in research had been established with the publication of PTUK own research Journal With all this, PTUK recognizes there are still many challenges ahead, some of which is the completion of legislative reform associated with the university’s special administrative and financial laws and regulations, in addition to the setting up of an official authority in the form of The University Advisory Board.
