A number of institutions of higher learning have appeared in recent years throughout the Palestinian Territories and the Gaza Strip. Though young, these facilities are able to offer a diverse range of programs to local and international students.

Courses are individual classes that can be taken at universities, colleges, junior colleges, and trade schools worldwide. For even greater flexibility, many schools also offer online classes. Students can take individual classes or pursue degree programs.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
