The duration of study in most faculties is around four years. It may be expanded in some faculties (engineering, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary) to five years. However, the duration in the faculty of medicine stretches to six years. The internal regulation of each faculty determines the subjects of the study, distributing the curriculum and the specific time for each subject.

Moreover, the University Council determines, according to the concerned department, the topics of each subject. The study in the university is based on two academic semesters, but in some faculties, such as Faculty of Medicine, designate an extended one year term for the academic year.

Arabic language is the main language of study except for some faculties, after the University Councils decision, such as languages departments in the faculties of Arts, Commerce, Economics, Law, Agriculture, Medicine, and Dentistry.
