[edit] History of the University

The history of SUST goes back to Khartoum Technical School and School of Commerce, then School of Radiology (1932), School of Arts (1946), Khartoum Technical Institute (1950), Shambat Institute of Agriculture (1954), Institute of Music & Drama and the Higher Institute of Physical Education (1969). The substantial turning point was the inception of Khartoum Polytechnic in 1975, which was upgraded to Sudan University of Science & Technology in 1990, forming the largest institution of technology in Sudan. The University has increased tenfold over the past fifteen years in terms of programs and number of students.

SUST specializations range from engineering, business, agriculture, veterinary medicine, education, science, languages, radiology, laboratory, water technology and forestry to creative specializations like fine and applied arts, music, drama, physical and sports education. SUST's scientific contribution was crowned with introduction of new fields such as computer and communication sciences.
