- Provide higher educational opportunities along with in-depth studies and specialization in the various fields of knowledge
- Conduct scientific studies, encourage and promote research and intellectualism
- Develop pluralistic ideals, democratic values and team spirit among the student body
- Promote liberal education in the Palestinian society within the context of Arab culture and in keeping with the emerging global society
- Work on the development of literature and arts as well as the advancement of sciences
- Strengthen the links between Arab and international universities and other scientific bodies
- Develop and support community-oriented programs aiming at a sustainable development in Palestine
It is through its academic record and community orientation that Birzeit University earned its well-deserved local and international reputation of academic excellence and societal relevance. Birzeit University challenges stereotypical cultural systems and traditional political thought, promoting democratic development in the student body. The personal achievements of faculty and students who have been determinedly forward-looking are a constant inspiration to the local and international community.
