Our history
Founded in 2008, Tripoli College of Science and Technology began as a small computing institute with two departments. Over eighteen years, TCST has grown into one of Libya's leading technology-focused colleges, partnering with regional universities and industry to deliver programs that meet the demands of a rapidly evolving digital economy.
Today the college occupies a purpose-built campus in Hay Al-Andalus, Tripoli, home to dedicated software, networking and cyber security laboratories serving thousands of students.
