University founder's speech

Mr. Abid Hassan Al-Saadi

We praise and thank Allah, and we send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his companions.

Driven by a clear vision and a firm belief in the importance of knowledge and its role in shaping future generations and building the future, and with the grace of Allah Almighty, University of Manara was established by a resolution of the Council of Ministers in its 35th regular session held on September 6, 2017. The university was granted its license for establishment by official letter No. (291) dated September 7, 2017. With the support of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the university has become a private academic institution with an independent legal personality, both financially and administratively, and fully authorized to achieve its educational goals.

Since its establishment, the college has witnessed remarkable development in various areas, including the expansion of infrastructure, the modernization of scientific laboratories with the latest equipment, and the creation of green spaces and sports fields that enhance the university environment. The college has also continued its journey of advancing scientific research and setting strategies and future visions that have contributed to achieving its declared goals.

These blessed efforts culminated in the transformation of the college into University of Manara by virtue of the ministerial order issued by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, under the number (T.H.A / K 13478) on June 23, 2024. This transformation marked a new chapter in its journey as a beacon of knowledge contributing to the advancement of our beloved province and country by preparing qualified professionals who meet the needs of the labor market.

To realize this vision, the university is committed to applying international academic standards, providing a stimulating learning environment, and supporting training programs for both academic and administrative staff.

  • Department of Dentistry

  • Department of Pharmacy

  • Department of Medical Laboratory Techniques

After its transformation into a university, the institution now includes the following colleges:

These colleges and departments have been equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories and scientific facilities and staffed with highly qualified academic personnel, in the firm belief that education is the foundation for building and advancing societies.

In conclusion, we reaffirm our ongoing commitment to academic and intellectual excellence, and to providing the highest quality educational and research services.
