The Palestine Technical College (Arabic: كلية فلسطين التقنية, romanized: Kullīyat Filasṭīn al-Tiqniyah) is a college in Deir El-Balah, Gaza Strip, Palestine. The college offers bachelor degree programs and 2-year associate degrees in technical education at the post-secondary level, as well as programs for different target groups through continuing education.[1] Its professors' research has been cited more than 10,000 times.[2]
It is a governmental college that was established in 1993. Currently there are more than 1800 students enrolled in the college in 20 diploma programs and 8 B.Sc. programs. The main college campus is located at the city of Deir El-Balah. The college has a branch campus in the north of Gaza City. In the academic year 2015/2016, PTC employed around 200 full time employees of which 120 were academic staff.[3]
The university co-ran a European Union-funded, joint Erasmus+ project in 3D garment design training with Jordanian University of Science and Technology; Dr. Derar Eleyan directed Palestine Technical College's part in the project.[4]
In early 2023, students at the university launched a faculty-backed information campaign about the dangers of illegal boat migration, which was becoming popular among young Gazans disenchanted with the economic situation under siege.[5] Later that year, the university was used as a shelter for displaced Palestinians during the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip; its buildings were damaged by Israeli military strikes.[6][7] In October 2024, the university announced via Facebook that it would launch remote learning for its students the following month via the platform Moodle after a year of closure during the Gaza genocide.[8]
