The Complete Guide to Open Education in Syria 2026
Many students and parents are looking for alternative and flexible options within the Syrian public higher education system. Here, the Open Education system in Syria stands out as one of the most practical academic solutions that suits various professional and personal circumstances.
In this comprehensive guide presented by MHB GROUP, we explain everything you need to know about the Open Education system, including how the study process works, admission requirements, and available majors across Syrian provinces.
What Is the Open Education System?
Open Education is an official university education system supervised by the Syrian Ministry of Higher Education within public universities.
This system was established to provide a flexible opportunity for students to obtain a Bachelor’s degree, especially for:
- Students whose grades were not sufficient for regular public admission.
- Individuals returning to education after a long interruption.
- Employees and working professionals seeking a flexible study schedule compatible with their jobs.
Nature of Study and Attendance
Unlike traditional university education that requires daily attendance, Open Education offers a more flexible structure.
Weekend Classes
Lectures and in-person sessions are usually held only on Fridays and Saturdays inside university campuses.
Flexible Attendance
Strict attendance requirements are generally not enforced, allowing students to rely on self-study and official course materials.
Exams
Despite the flexible attendance system, semester exams are conducted physically inside university halls at the end of each semester.
How Does Registration and Admission Work?
The application process is simple and mostly electronic.
1. Admission Announcement
The Ministry announces admission requirements and minimum grades after the general admission results are released.
2. Acceptance of Old and New High School Certificates
One of the main advantages of Open Education is that it accepts both old and recent secondary school certificates.
3. Submitting Preferences
Students apply through electronic platforms and university registration centers similarly to other university admissions.
4. Final Registration
After acceptance results are announced, students complete fee payment and finalize registration.
