A message from the Vice Dean

Praise be to the Lord of the both worlds, peace and blessings be upon the most honorable of all prophets and messengers, our master Mohammed, and all His household and companions.

As we actively endeavor to improve the quality of the educational process-learning outcome, development and quality concepts have come to be among the main pillars of education. Departing from this conviction, we work on promoting a culture of comprehensive quality and adherence to its standards in both the educational and administrative processes in the Common First Year, in accordance with the vision and mission of King Saud University, which, in turn, reflects the Kingdom’s 2030 vision.

In view of the significant role played by technology in conducting business, the Vice Deanship has been working on on developing electronic systems contributing to enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the educational and administrative processes. This will be achieved by keeping up with and applying the state-of-the-art methods and techniques in these technological areas. Moreover, the Vice Deanship is working on developing an empowered cadre by providing support and training to the CFY Deanship affiliates.

We ask Allah, Almighty, for success and good luck.
