The Islamic University of Gaza (Arabic: الجامعة الإسلامية بغزة), also known as IUG and IU Gaza, is an independent Palestinian university established in 1978 in Gaza City.[2] It was the first higher education institution to be established in the Gaza Strip.[2] The university has 11 faculties capable of awarding BA, BSc, MA, MSc, MD, PhD, diplomas and higher diplomas,[2][3] in addition to 20 research centers and institutes and the affiliated Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital.[2][4]

The Islamic University of Gaza is a member of twelve regional and international associations and networks of higher education,[5] including the International Association of Universities (IAU),[6] Mediterranean Universities Union (UNIMED),[7] Association of Arab Universities (AAU),[8] Federation of the Universities of the Islamic World (FUIW),[9] Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Academic Network (BSEMAN),[10] and the Global University Network for Innovation-GUNi.[11]

The Islamic University suffered damage in air strikes during the 2008–2009 Gaza war, the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict, and the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.[12][13] In December 2023, Professor Sufyan Tayeh, the University's president and a prominent scientist, was killed along with his family in an Israeli air strike on Jabalia refugee camp.[14][15]
