Study in Lebanon 2026

The academic year is shaped by the university you choose, but the country offers a clear range of higher education options across 24 institutions. Well-known names include the American University of Beirut, Arts, Sciences and Technology University, American University of Science and Technology, American University College of Technology, Balamand University, and Beirut Arab University.

Housing is one of the first practical tasks after arrival. Students usually need to arrange where they will live soon after enrolling, so it helps to plan for that early rather than waiting until classes start.

Daily life in Lebanon may involve more than one language, and students should expect language use to matter both in and outside the classroom. That can affect lectures, administration, and everyday errands in the first term.

Lebanon’s price level in 2023 was 272% of the US level, and GDP per capita based on purchasing power parity was 11,600 US dollars. For students deciding whether to move, that means budgeting carefully and checking how your university organizes the start of term before you arrive.
