University establishment
At the initiative of the University Graduates Union in the city of Hebron, this institution was founded in 1978 as a technical and engineering school leading to a diploma level. In 1991, it evolved over a long leap, and was acknowledged as a university that awards bachelor degrees in some Engineering programs. In 1999, PPU had four colleges that granted both diplomas and bachelor's degrees in several academic programs. Consistent with the needs of the community, PPU launched master's degree programs in 2006 and then started to launch Ph.D. degree programs in 2018.
