A Message from the Vice Dean

Praise be to Allah and Peace and Mercy upon His Prophet. Education is an integrated process of efforts. Exchanging experiences with qualified partners is one of the factors for a successful educational process. We intend to spread the culture of collaboration and academic partnerships in the Common First Year. We also seek to have successful partnerships with parties known for academic and administrative capabilities.
