The preparatory year is a crucial introduction to academic education and introduces and prepares students to study in different faculties. According to faculties requirements, students in the preparatory year take an intensive program in English,  computer science, math, basic science, and self-development. After admission to the university as first-year students, they study the first year (or first semester according to their respective faculties) at the Deanship of the Preparatory Year and supporting studies.
