The University of Juba (Arabic: جامعة جوبا) is an English-language public university in Juba, the capital of South Sudan. Established in 1975 as the first institution of higher education in southern Sudan, the university admitted its first students in 1977. It is the largest and highest-ranked university in South Sudan.
The university was founded during Gaafar Nimeiry's presidency, with key involvement from Abel Alier, then Vice President of Sudan and President of the Southern Region's High Executive Council, following the 1972 Addis Ababa Agreement which granted autonomy to Southern Sudan. The institution was established to address the shortage of local tertiary education and to train civil servants for the autonomous administration of the region.
