Overview

Gollis University (GU) is a private, community‑founded university based in Hargeisa, Somaliland. Launched in 2004 as a teacher training college and elevated to full university status in 2005, GU now accommodates over 2,400 students from Somaliland and beyond. With a mission to foster leadership and development in the Horn of Africa, Gollis integrates practical, market‑oriented study with core values of respect, innovation, fairness and community service

The institution emphasizes a wide academic portfolio—with strong faculties in engineering, business, health sciences, public health, veterinary medicine, social sciences and law—taught primarily in English. GU maintains multiple campuses across Somaliland (Hargeisa, Berbera, Burao, Erigavo, Las Anod, Burao, Borama) and even in Garowe. The university is accredited by Somaliland’s Ministry of Education and holds programmatic recognition for select degrees via international networks.
