After the closure was lifted, the University reintroduced the graduate program in Education and established the graduate program in International Studies during the 1994-1995 academic year. This was followed by the further development of a wide variety of programs in subsequent years.

Birzeit University coordinates with the Palestinian Ministry of Education and Higher Education to develop its graduate programs, and seeks accreditation for each new program. The University constantly strives to provide the appropriate infrastructure and human resources needed to develop its programs.

Administration of Graduate Studies
The Dean of Graduate Studies is responsible for overall supervision of graduate studies at the University, while Deans of Faculties have direct responsibility for programs in their faculties. The Academic Council approves program requirements and content, admissions criteria, and other academic aspects of graduate programs.

Each program is supervised by a council or committee, chaired by the head of the relevant institute, department, or program. Councils and committees are entrusted with the administration of the programs, which include teaching activities, research, and thesis supervision. The council or committee also recommends changes in program content and requirements, admission criteria, and academic regulations.

Research Interests and Community Outreach 
The research interests of faculty members involved in graduate studies are diverse, covering the applied sciences, engineering, mathematics, education, the social sciences and humanities, business, and legal studies. Many programs maintain long-standing relations with Palestinian institutions in the public, private and non-governmental sectors. They organize training programs, workshops, conferences, and research projects in collaboration with Palestinian and international organizations active in Palestine.
