In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the teacher of humanity, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and companions. It is my pleasure and honor to welcome you to the website of the College of Dentistry at King Faisal University, which is part of the University's electronic services. In designing it, the College aimed to make it interactive, reflecting the College's various activities and events, and providing a space for students and faculty members to share their feedback and have it addressed. We hope you find in it what you are looking for and that it earns your satisfaction.
The College of Dentistry at King Faisal University is one of the important specialized colleges, established to achieve the goals of the University and our dear homeland in graduating national talent at world-class academic and competitive levels. This reflects the keen interest of our wise government and its generous, unlimited support. The Royal Decree establishing the College was issued on 7/8/1432 AH, and the College admitted its first cohort of students in the 1435/1436 AH academic year.
The College sees the student as the center of the educational process and its primary target. Therefore, with the strong support of University management, represented by the University President, the College strives to become the most distinguished among its peers in achieving its goals in student training, community partnership, and scientific research tied to the needs of its local and national environment. Despite its short history, the College has, praise be to God, built bridges of communication, locally and internationally, with a number of academic and health institutions. The College has partnered with its counterpart, the University of Texas in San Antonio, United States, and this cooperation has produced integrated curricula that follow the latest advances in dental sciences, including modern methods of teaching and learning.
In addition, the College has attracted faculty members of high academic standing from both national and international talent, enabling the College to achieve its goals, improve its outputs, and apply modern learning policies. To provide every means of success, the College established the University Dental Clinics Complex, which contains the various dental laboratories, equipped with modern devices and a contemporary layout, in line with modern dental curricula.
The College was also a pioneer in establishing training programs, postgraduate studies, and health diplomas, out of its belief in the importance of these programs in developing the academic health environment and improving the medical services provided, according to the latest treatment and research methods.
In conclusion, we ask God to crown these efforts with success and guidance, with the continued support of University management and under the banner of the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and his Crown Prince, to achieve the nation's ambitious vision, and for the College to become a key, globally recognized tributary of science and knowledge.
