From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Juba National University, commonly referred to as the University of Juba, is located in the northern suburbs of Khartoum, the capital of Sudan but named after the capital of Southern Sudan Juba. In late 2006, the Government of Southern Sudan's Ministry of Education agreed to change its name to Juba National University. At present, it is the only university in Sudan which maintained English as its language of instruction after the Islamic revolution to meet the needs of its largely southern Sudanese non-Arabic speaking students and benefit from International teaching material. It mostly serves students from the ten southern states of Southern Sudan and Sudan in general. Juba University is in the process being transferred from a Khartoum campus to the capital of Southern Sudan Juba City in Central Equatoria state.
