Prof. Dr. Mohamed Abd El-Aziz
Vice Dean for Graduate Studies

Graduate studies and scientific research are indeed the engines for the advancement of this nation and its future. They represent the only way to meet the society’s demands and solve its problems by harnessing the collective efforts of scientists, equipping them with the tools of knowledge, responsibility, and diligent work.

I would also like to highlight that graduate studies and scientific research are among the core pillars that elevate the college, and in turn, the university and society, due to their noble goal of enhancing the intellectual and scientific levels of graduate students. The college is keen to offer its various programs in accordance with both local and international academic accreditation and quality assurance standards.

Therefore, the true and serious start of graduate studies and scientific research reflects the reciprocal relationships between scientific research, higher education, and state institutions. Success in one is closely tied to achieving success in the other.

Hence, I urge you to stay updated with the latest developments in your fields of specialization and to continually seek knowledge, so that this will lead to progress and prosperity for all of us.

I am pleased to welcome all graduate students to our college, and I ask Almighty God, the Lord of the Throne, to bless everyone who has contributed or will contribute to the development of graduate studies at both the college and university levels. May He reward all their efforts and place the good deeds they offer in their balance of good deeds. He is the Hearer and Answerer of prayers, and praise be to Allah, the Lord of all worlds.

Finally, I pray for your success and prosperity in your studies and your academic and professional lives. May peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.
