The Negev’s university was founded at the Prime Minister’s behest in 1969. In June 1971 the institution’s name was officially changed to “Negev University” and after Ben Gurion’s death “Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.” The university has five faculties: Natural Sciences, Engineering, Humanities-Social Sciences, Health Sciences, and Business. The university also has a campus in Eilat.
