Faculty of Medicine

[edit]

Faculty of Medicine was initially planned as part of the main university, but was given more autonomy and a separate administration. It is still geographically adjacent to the main campus in southeast Tripoli. The main teaching hospital is the large Tripoli Medical Center known locally as the TMC. Other teaching facilities are Tripoli Central Hospital, Alkhadra Hospital and Tripoli Children Hospital (Aljala Hospital).

After the completion of six academic years of Undergraduate Education, all Medical Graduates are awarded the degrees MBBCh (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery).

After seeing that Libyans were going abroad for medical treatment and deciding it was because of a lack of Libyan doctors, the late leader Muammar Gaddafi ordered the medical school to take 2,000 new students regardless of qualifications, well beyond its 150-student capacity.[4]

History

[edit]

The first college of what became University of Tripoli was founded in 1957 as the Faculty of Sciences of University of Libya. In 1966 the Faculty of Agriculture was added, and in 1972 the College of Petroleum and Minerals.

In 1973, the University of Libya was split into two independent universities. All the colleges (faculties) located in Tripoli joined the new University of Tripoli while those located in Benghazi joined the new University of Benghazi (later renamed Garyounis University).

In 1976 the University of Tripoli was renamed Al Fateh University[7] after the student unrest in April, 1976, where pro-government students chanted Al Fateh.[8][9]

The university was the site of a student uprising by the Students' Union (SU) during the August 2011 Battle of Tripoli, part of the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2012, the university was renamed from al-Fateh University to the original name of University of Tripoli.[10]

Political importance

[edit]

After the 1969 coup by Gaddafi, Tripoli and Benghazi universities were subjected to a crackdown by the Gaddafi government. From the early 1970s political activity was severely curtailed and by the late 1970s, Gaddafi instructed his followers to arrest any students or staff members who were vocally resistant to his government. Each year until the Gaddafi government downfall in 2011, his close followers used to celebrate the commemoration of these events on the 7th of April.[11][unreliable source?]
