Université Mohamed Khider de Biskra

The University of Mohamed Khider Biskra (French: Université Mohamed Khider de Biskra, abbreviated UMKB) is one of Algeria's 106 higher education institutions, located in the state of Biskra. The University of Mohamed Khider Biskra, founded in 1983, is a non-profit public higher education institution located in the medium-sized city of Biskra (population range of 500,000-1,000,000 inhabitants).

The University of Mohamed Khider Biskra (UMKB), which is officially accredited and/or recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, is a very large (enrollment range: 30,000-34,999 students) coeducational higher education institution that offers courses and programs leading to officially recognized higher education degrees such as bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and doctorate degrees in a variety of fields of study.

The university arose from three administratively, pedagogically, and financially autonomous national institutes: the National Institute of Hydraulics, the National Institute of Architecture, and the National Institute of Electrotechnics. In 1992, these three institutes merged to form a university center; in 1998, the university was renamed Mohamed Khider University of Biskra, and it now has six faculties.
