President, Riyadh Elm University

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Beneficent. Praise be to the Lord of all worlds. Prayers and peace be upon our Prophet, Muhammad, his family, and all of his companions.
I am delighted to have this opportunity to welcome all to Riyadh Elm University (REU) through this platform, which is the gateway to explore, see, and learn about the university and the extent of its development, expansion, and achievements.

One of the university’s main goals is to provide admission opportunities for outstanding high school graduates and those wishing to pursue their education in a post-secondary health care institution that supports a high-quality educational environment.

As part of the university’s endeavor to obtain high-quality educational outcomes, REU has been keen to pay attention to the quality of work to implement and achieve accreditation standards and academic evaluation in the educational process. Also, control the quality of work in the therapeutic, technical, and administrative aspects by establishing the Quality Assurance and Accreditation Center at the university.

Those efforts culminated in obtaining full institutional and program accreditation for the full period (7) seven years from the National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Evaluation for the period from May 2010 AD until April 2017 AD, among the first private universities in the Kingdom to obtain this accreditation at the governmental and private level.

The development that REU has witnessed, its accomplishments, and its aspirations are thankfully bestowed upon us from God Almighty. Thanks to the support of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and His Highness the Crown Prince, may God grant them peace, under the patronage, guidance, and encouragement of His Excellency the Minister of Education and all officials in the Ministry.

We will continue to make the utmost efforts to contribute to society by creating new intellectual value and the cultivation of outstanding human resources.
Peace be upon you with the mercy and blessings of Allah.
