Adigrat University (Tigrinya: ዓዲግራት ዩኒቨርሲቲ) is a residential national university in Adigrat, Tigray Region, Ethiopia. It is approximately 900 kilometres (560 mi) north of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.[1][2] The Ministry of Education admits qualified students to Adigrat University based on their score on the Ethiopian Higher Education Entrance Examination (EHEEE).[3] Facilities at the university's campuses were "completely destroyed" during the Tigray War.[4]
