Establishment of the University
Al-Baath University was established by the Legislative Decree No. 44 dated 9/14/1979. It was located in the governorates of Homs and Hama. It is the fourth among Syrian universities according to the date of establishment. As the Legislative Decree No. 19 of 2014 establishing the Hama University was issued, the faculties and institutes located within Hama Governorate became affiliated to the university. The current location of Al-Baath University within Homs Governorate in central Syria is of particular importance, as It links Al Badia and the coastal area. Besides, livestock resources as well as chemical, oil and textile industries are concentrated in its geographical location. Moreover, the richness of the central area of Syria in monuments and tourist attractions calls for the university to include all branches of technical, human and medical sciences.
Al-Baath University currently includes 20 faculties, a higher institute of languages, 4 technical institutes, and a number of research and service centers of excellence.
