Damascus University

The University of Damascus (, Jāmiatu Dimashq) is the largest and oldest university in Syria, located in the capital Damascus, with campuses in other Syrian cities. It was founded in 1923 as the Syrian University (, al-Jāmia s-Sūriyya) through the merger of the Arab Medical School (established 1903) and the Institute of Law (established 1913). It adopted its current name after the founding of the University of Aleppo in 1958.
