Sustainable Development 2024
Eradicating poverty is a complex challenge that requires multidimensional efforts. It goes beyond providing income; it also includes ensuring access to basic services such as education, health, clean water, and sanitation. Poverty is closely linked to many other challenges such as inequality, social injustice, and climate change. Therefore, achieving this goal is the foundation for achieving all others.
Educational institutions, especially universities, play a vital role in achieving this goal by providing educational opportunities that are key to breaking out of the cycle of poverty. For example, in the College of Computer Science, education can open up broad horizons for students toward high-paying jobs in the technology sector, contributing to improving the standard of living for themselves and their families.
The college registered a student body for the 2024/2025 academic year: 1,476 male and female students.
751 male students (including 2 Arab students).
725 female students (including 1 Arab student).
Total number of students receiving financial support: 153.
This represents 10% of the student body receiving financial support.
