Today it has 30 colleges on two campuses in Benghazi, with nine satellite bases elsewhere in Eastern Libya. Among the newer colleges are physical education and languages, both founded in 2019. The college of agriculture, which existed independently for 29 years before joining the university in 2004, focusses on the issues facing farmers in arid and semi-arid regions.
