Université Ferhat Abbas Sétif 1
The sixth famous university in Top 10 Best Universities in Algeria that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Université Ferhat Abbas Sétif 1. Université Ferhat Abbas Sétif 1 was founded in 1978 as the Sétif University Centre and is located in Eastern Algeria's commercial capital, which is also known as the cradle of Algerian independence. It gets its name from a political leader during the civil war that led to the country's independence from France in 1962.
It grew from 242 students in economics, exact science and technology, and foreign languages to full university status in 1989. In 2011, the university was split into two institutions, with Ferhat Abbas Sétif University 2 focusing on law and political science, humanities, literature, and languages.
Université Ferhat Abbas Sétif 1, whose rector, Abdelmajid Djenane, has stated that the university aspires to "become an active territorial actor, a socially responsible university," operates eight faculties from three campuses, offering a total of 141 degree courses, 39 research institutes, and an experimental farm.
The main campus, which houses the faculties of medicine, science, natural and life sciences, economics, commerce, and management, as well as architecture and Earth sciences, remains in El-Bez, with its connection to the rest of the city improved by the opening of the Sétif tramway system in March 2018. El Maabouda is home to the Faculty of Technology, and Said Boukhrissa is home to the Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics.
In an institution that aspires to be a "development driver" for the region, research projects include an intensive study of the threats to local ecological balance by the Laboratory of the Urban Project, City, and Territory, as well as the digital scanning of Sétif's numerous historical monuments. In the 2018 Nature Index, the university was ranked second among Algerian universities.
