The Libyan International University (Arabic: الجامعة الليبية الدولية) is a private university established in Benghazi, Libya, with the purpose of teaching medicine. It is the first private medical university in Libya.
The Libyan Ministry of Health granted LIMU students the privilege of training at the national health care centers and hospitals.
History
The university began its activity in 2007 by opening the faculties of Medicine, Oral and Dental Medicine, Pharmacy and Basic Medical Sciences, expanding afterwards to include several different faculties, such as the faculties of Information Technology, Business Administration and Engineering. This versatility in the offered programs lead to the name being changed from "Libyan International Medical University" to simply "Libyan International University". It, however, retained the acronym "LIMU", maintaining its legacy.
