Education Program
The education program at the university comes as a fulfillment for the university's philosophy and educational goals which are represented in the efforts to develop the educational systems in Palestine as well as in the Arab societies in order to meet the current and future needs of these societies. This can be achieved through educating the Palestinian and Arab individuals, investing in their abilities and building their practical and scientific skills. Moreover, educating the individual and increasing his productivity should go through upgrading his proficiency in modern technology and utilizing it in education and training. Therefore, the education program depends on the modern educational technology as the basis for its development. It also uses as much as possible the latest methods in education and learning and the most efficient methods of measurement and evaluation to test the degree of achievement of its educational goals.
The education program is based on the concept of open education and therefore offers educational opportunities for every citizen who is willing to pursue his studies regardless of age, residence or work position through providing the latest techniques in the education field. This is done by the use of certain well-designed courses which aim at the continuity of improving the performance of educators and helping them cope with the current developments in the field of education.
