University of Oran

The University of Oran (Arabic: جامعة وهران, French: Université d'Oran), or Es Sénia University (Arabic: جامعة السانية), is a university located in western Algeria in the wilaya of Oran.

The history of the University of Oran dates back to 1961, when it was founded as part of the University of Algiers. On April 13, 1965, it was made a separate campus, and on December 20, 1967, it became an independent university. It was the first university established after the independence of Algeria in 1962.

The university was initially housed in a number of different buildings around the city of Oran, but in 1971 it moved to its current campus in the Es Sénia district. The campus has been expanded and modernized over the years, and now includes a wide range of facilities, including classrooms, laboratories, libraries, and student housing.

The University of Oran has played a major role in the development of Algeria since its independence. It has trained thousands of students who have gone on to successful careers in government, business, and academia. The university is also a leading research institution, and its faculty members have made significant contributions to a variety of fields.

In 2014, the University of Oran was split into two universities: Oran 1 University and Oran 2 University. Oran 1 University is now the flagship university in the region, and it continues to play a vital role in the development of Algeria.

Today, the University of Oran is one of the largest and most prestigious universities in Algeria. It is known for its high academic standards and its commitment to research. The university is also a popular destination for international students, and it has exchange agreements with a number of universities around the world.
