Region: Khartoum State Country: Sudan

About The University
The roots of the University of Khartoum (U of K) go back to 1898 when Lord Kitchener of Khartoum proposed founding a college in memory of General Gordon. Funds for the proposed college were raised by private subscription, and the plans for the building were drawn by the Khedive's architect, Fabricus Pasha.

The new college, named the Gordon Memorial College, was officially opened in 1902, although it was not until 1903 that the buildings were completed and the first batch of primary level students were admitted. The College however, was never intended to be solely a primary school. A secondary stratum was added in 1905 for the purpose of training assistant engineers and land surveyors, and in 1906 a four year course for the training of primary school teachers was established.

In 1905 Sir Henry Wellcome donated a fully equipped laboratory for bacteriological analysis, thus began the fruitful association between Khartoum and the Welcome Research Laboratories. In 1924, the College developed into a vocational secondary school concentrating on teaching the following disciplines: Sharia, Engineering, Teachers' Training, Clerical Work, Accounting and Science. In the same year Kitchener School of Medicine was established. The year 1936 witnessed the beginning of higher education in the Sudan with the establishment of the School of Law. By 1940 the College included schools of Agriculture, Arts, Law, Science, Engineering and Veterinary Science.

Each School was attached to the government department in which the graduates would be expected to work.In January 1945, all these schools were brought under one administration in a special arrangement with the University of London. The College was upgraded in 1951 to become Khartoum University College. In the same year Kitchener School of Medicine was incorporated in the University College. The University of London set the examinations and awarded the degrees. The outstanding students were awarded bachelor degrees from the University of London and the rest obtained the College diplomas.

The present University of Khartoum is the result of the natural transformation of the University College of Khartoum when the country became independent in 1956. The bill giving full University status to the College was passed by Parliament on 24th July 1956, since then, the University witnessed considerable expansion.

University Emblem
The objective of an emblem is to symbolize the University in manner and purpose, as countries do with national flags. The idea behind the University emblem revolves around four features:

The Nile
The emblem uses the symbol of the Nile to represent the great civilization of the Nile Valley. The confluence of the two Niles is shown by two converging lines - the Blue Nile on the right and the White Nile on the left which then continues upwards through the emblem as the spine of an open book.

The Modern Development of Education
This is depicted by the drawing of the main University building, occupying the space between the Blue and White Nile, with rays emerging from it to enlighten a black background that represents the dispersal of ignorance.

The Indigenous Culture
This is shown by the rectangular Meroitic tablet occupying the space between the Main Nile and the White Nile on the left hand page of the open book. The inscriptions in the Meroitic tablet are the four Meroitic letters (right to left) "kh. r. t. m." The tablet of offering with the Meroitic letters and the head of Isis are meant to symbolize dedication, sacrifice, and wisdom as embodied by "Isis". According to the Meroitic, Isis was the mother of generations whose wisdom increased as more and more generations were born.

The Motto
The motto occupies the right hand page of the open book. The Arabic writing is intended to reflect the dominant origin and culture of modern Sudan. It reads: Allah - Al-hagiga - Al-watan - Al-insaniyya, [God - Truth - Our Country - Humanity]. The ultimate knowledge of all things is with the Omniscient God. Man has been and shall forever remain pursuing the secrets of creation. The basis of knowledge is truth; the purpose is the elevation of man, our countrymen and fellow-men at large.
