King Abdulaziz University Offers a Variety of Diplomas That Prepare Society for the Labor Market
The study after the secondary stage aims primarily to prepare the student to embark on a new phase that qualifies him for a practical life that benefits society and is a source of livelihood for him and his family. Those who do not find university seats miss the opportunity to build themselves and serve the community in which they live and find a decent source of livelihood for themselves and their families. For this reason, it is necessary to find a new academically acceptable formula that benefits the secondary school graduate to be an effective worker in society and in specializations that give him the skills required for the labor market called "Diploma Qualification Programs".
From this standpoint, KAU, represented by The Applied College, has opened the door for admission for high school graduates to study in diploma qualification programs that range in duration from one to two years, qualifying graduates to enter the labor market directly.
The Applied College at King Abdulaziz University offers a wide range of programs, including professional certifications, qualifying diplomas, and non-degree certificates across various specializations. These programs aim to meet the demands of the job market and enhance professional skills, enabling students and professionals to refine their expertise and align with the requirements of different industries, contributing to improved efficiency and the development of national talent.
