The National University - Sudan is an educational institution based in the city of Khartoum, Sudan. As of September 2011, the university was a member of the Association of African Universities.
In 2005 NUSU started as a college (National College for Medical and Technical Studies). The MHESR approved the start with 4 bachelor programmes (medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy and health informatics) and 3-year diploma of physiotherapy.
In 2006 the college added bachelor programmes of Dentistry and Radiography.
