Education ceased to function at all levels causing school-going children and youth throughout Somalia to see their future suddenly blocked by circumstances beyond their control. Thousands of former students whose education was interrupted face unemployment with no possibility of obtaining qualifications to enter the job market. In response to this bleak situation, a group of Somali professionals from within Somaliland and the Diaspora began discussions in 1996 relating to the creation of an institute of higher learning. This culminated in the establishment of Amoud University as a national community-based educational establishment. Amoud University (AU) was formally launched in 1998 and is registered as a non-governmental, non-profit making institution. Amoud is an institute which is deeply rooted in the local community as the primary support for the establishment of Amoud came from the community elders, leaders, business people, concerned citizens and local non-governmental organizations. Moreover, the establishment of Amoud University is seen as symbolic of the transition from an era of war and destruction to an era of peace and development and inspired other Communities not only in Somaliland but also other parts of Somalia to create higher learning institutions along the lines of Amoud University. Amoud University started in 1998 with 60 students in two faculties (Education and Business Administration), and teachers. The University currently has a student population of 1600 enrolled in 7 faculties (including Medicine & Surgery), 45 teachers and a large library with up-to-date books. The first batch of Medical graduates came out on June 2007 and their final exams were supervised by Kings Cross Medical College of London UK which provides the curriculum and teaching assistance to the Amoud University Medical faculty. In 2003, Amoud University signed a project agreement with the EC/DANIDA/CfBT for teacher training at the Education Faculty. The two years Diploma Education Programme is funded by EC and DANIDA through UNESCO and CfBT. There are 52 students in group one and 78 students in group two in the Diploma programme. The students are going through teaching practice for 2 months in North-West, Awdal and Sahil regions with supervisors in place and with periodic supervision from Amoud University. The teachers programme is so successful and taking a new dimension where all the primary school teachers need to undergo through such training albeit shorter periods. Currently the university consists of seven faculties which offer bachelor degree, two years diploma and certificate programs: Faculty of Education, Faculty of Business and Public Administration, Faculty of Agriculture and Environment, Faculty of Sharia and Law, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Nursing and Faculty of Information System. Each faculty formulates its academic program within the general regulation of the university and enjoys considerable amount of freedom over its internal affairs, including recommendations for the selection of faculty members Amoud University will continue to lead dissemination of Education through excellence and dedication.

Grounded in theory and oriented toward practice, we are a community of learners having an impact on the field of education, our disciplines, the lives of our students, and the communities we serve. Educational Philosophy : Amoud University is dedicated to the belief that individualized, facilitative and socially useful higher education requires a combination of professional and theoretical training balanced with responsible participation in society. It is the philosophy of Amoud University that its graduate needs to be broadly educated as well as be a master of their chosen discipline. It is equally essential that they clearly see how their discipline relates to the society and that she/he is able to communicate successfully with those not trained in his/her discipline. Credit Hours : The quality of the student’s achievement is indicated by marks that are assigned by the instructors. The most common method of marking is on a 5-point scale, with letter grades indicating student performances. The highest mark is “A” indicating very superior accomplishment. “B” indicates work that is above average. “C” indicates average quality. “D” indicates work that is of passing grade but below average. “F” is used to designate work that is not of passing quality. Other marks used are: “Inc.” for incomplete, in which case the student will receive a letter grade after completing some work that was unfinished at the end of the course. “Def.” For deferred, which indicates that the student’s grade is withheld until the instructor takes some action. “Wi.” For withdrawn, indicating that the student enrolled in the class and withdrawn for it before the end of the term. Amoud University requires the student to maintain grades of a designated average quality in order to graduate or to remain in school. The common plan is to assign certain “quality points” for each of the letter grades. For example: - A = 4; B = 3; C = 2; D = 1 and F = 0 The student’s total quality points are calculated by multiplying the grade points associated with the mark received in each course by the number of credit hours assigned to that course, and summing these products for all the courses for which the student has registered. The total “quality points” divided by the total credit hours yields an index known as the “grade point average”. Graduation Requirements: Graduation requires the completion of a minimum of 124 credit hours and a maximum of 136 credit hours. No student shall take more than 144 credit hours unless approved by the university. In order to graduate, a student must maintain a minimum of 2.25 GPA in his/her major area of study, 2.0 GPA in his/her minor concentration, and 2.0 in his general education course work. BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT The Department of Biology is a component of the Division of Science and mathematics at the Faculty. It offers a B.Sc. degree in Biology with a combination of Zoology and Botany. Students with a major in Biology usually take a minor concentration in Chemistry. Department Goals To prepare the future biology teacher in order to fulfil the national educational demands in the secondary schools.

The faculty will play a great role in the agricultural production and the exploitation of other natural resources of the country. It is located at the former campus of the Agricultural Secondary School in Amoud valley, which has recently been transferred to Amoud University by the Somaliland Ministry of Education. I welcome the students who have already made their choice to join this new faculty and assure them that they will get the necessary skills in the field of agriculture. I would also like to congratulate this year’s graduates from the faculty and wish them all the best in the world Amoud University, Faculty of Agriculture takes your career to new heights Faculty of agriculture of Amoud University has already been opened and new courses will start in September, 2005. The University is situated 5 kilometer North East of Borama town. It composes of departments covering all aspects of agriculture for instance department of animal husbandry, department of agronomy, department of Agricultural Economics & Rural Sociology, department of Horticulture, department of crop protection, Department of Agricultural Engineering and Technology and Department of aquatic development. Amoud University made a decision to open the said faculty given the fact that agriculture is the backbone of our economy and in addition to that provides wider scope and opportunities for the people in the country. As this nation approaches twenty first century requires more people that are involved in agriculture as their primary economic activity than ever before but unfortunately agriculture only accounts for four percent of the country’s GDP. Faculty of agriculture of Amoud University will play a key role to the enhancement of crop production and the provision of people equipped with the latest knowledge in the field in addition to the provision of food for humans and animal feeds, Faculty of agriculture will play also a key role in the use of gene manipulation, better management of soil nutrients, and improved weed control and much more because all of these are mechanism that increase yield per unit area. The developing world generally produces lower yields, having less of the latest science, capital, and technology base. At the moment, Agriculture in our country is subsistence agriculture (the production of enough food to meet just the needs of the farmer/agriculturalist and his/her family). Amoud university with the establishment of the faculty of agriculture wants to transform the current agricultural system into that of industrial agriculture, (often referred to as factory farming) long prevalent in developed nations and increasingly so elsewhere, which consists of obtaining financial income from the cultivation of land to yield produce, the commercial raising of animals (animal husbandry), or both. In addition to that; the improvement of a countrys human resource capacity for productivity is a pre-requisite for social and economic development. In the agricultural sector, both formal and non-formal education is essential for improving food security and rural employment and reducing poverty. Formal agricultural education is needed for the production of skilled manpower to serve the agricultural sector through extension, research, entrepreneurship and commerce. Non-formal agricultural education, often provided by both public and private extension services, is needed for training of farmers, farm families and workers and for capacity building in a wide range of rural organizations and groups. To meet the challenges of agricultural production and food security facing Somaliland today and in the 21st century, We must be willing to invest in our human capital for development. Improving human capital in agriculture is especially important for instance in our country where the shortage of trained human resources is a major limiting factor to development. However, Faculty of agriculture is taking advantage of good quality teaching staff holding higher degrees from prestigious universities in abroad. Besides it has also microbiology, biochemistry and soil labs equipped with state of the art instruments. Moreover, the library of the faculty of agriculture holds up to date text books on almost all the subjects of agriculture.
