季马大学，中文又翻译为金马大学，吉马大学。

季马大学是一所公立高等教育机构，成立于1999年12月，由季马农学院（成立于1952年）和季马健康科学院（成立于1983年)。两个校园坐落在离埃塞俄比亚首都亚迪斯亚贝巴西南335公里的季马市，占地167公顷。

季马大学是埃塞俄比亚第一所创新的社区导向教育的高等教育机构。大学合乎理由的采用了城市的名字。第一还，季马是埃塞俄比亚一个古老的城市，以生产咖啡而著名。主校区位于季马王前皇宫附近，那里现在是一个公开的博物馆。季马还以其他的事情而闻名，一年到头的吸引人的绿色景观景色，和上述的咖啡生产。

季马和季马附近的人们天性友好，而季马大学社区(员工和学生)更是如此，你能很容易步行到最近的社区，并得到最热情的欢迎。

JU is Ethiopia's first innovative Communisty Oriented Education Institution of higher learning. The University adopted the city's name for logically sound reasons. For one thing, Jimma is one of the biggest cities in the country noted for its coffee production. Secondly, Jimma was the seat of the King of the Five Gibe States during the 19th century. The Main Campus is situated in the neighborhood of the ex-palace of Aba Jifar, now an open museum. Jimma is known among other things for its year round green attractive landscape scenery and coffee production as mentioned above.

People in Jimma and its surrounding are naturally friendly and more so for the JU community (staff and students). One can easily walk out to the nearest community and get an enthusiastic welcome.
