University College of Applied Sciences (UCAS) is a technical college in Gaza, Palestine founded in 1998. It offers 40 majors in engineering, health, technology, administration, education and the humanities.[1] The school had a student population of 6,000 with its main campus in Gaza City. The College offers undergraduate degrees in a number of specializations such as education technology, technological management and planning, and geographic information systems.[1]
Its campus buildings were completely destroyed by Israeli bombing during the Israel–Hamas war on 19 October 2023.[2] Israeli forces then shelled Palestinians living amid the rubble of the university on January 22, 2024.[3] The university's president, prominent academic Said Alzebda, was killed during the Gaza War on 31 December 2023.[4]
Despite the destruction of its campus, in August 2024 the university announced a project to integrate medical students directly into Gaza's health sector via a five-month training program funded by Kuwait.[5]
UCAS is a member of the International Association of Universities.[6]
