The Deanship of University Studies for Girls, represented by the Cultural Committee, held a scientific meeting on Thursday, 28 Rajab, 1440 A.H., entitled, "Prospective Aspirations for Developing Theoretical Disciplines at UQU to Keep Pace with the Saudi Vision 2030". The event was held in Bashraheel Hall, under the supervision of the Vice Dean of Educational Affairs and Development, Dr. Khuloud Al-Yusuf.

The meeting, which was held in the presence of the Dean of University Studies Dr. Hala Al-Amoudi, was characterized by deep and constructive discussions. The contributions made by the academic staff (acting as representatives of the theoretical colleges) during the discussion session emphasized the most positive aspects that can contribute to the achievement of the prospective aspirations, and their close association with academic and skill development in order to help refine the capabilities of the students.

Dr. Khuloud Al-Yusuf pointed out that this meeting session was an extension of the first session recently held on the programs of the theoretical disciplines and the extent of their alignment with the objectives of the Saudi Vision. She stated that the meeting on the programs of the different theoretical specializations examined alignment and convergence between the outputs of the theoretical departments and the needs of the labor market.

The present meeting reviewed a number of studies and research papers that focused on the importance of the theoretical departments and the informational and scientific structure they provide, and their relationship with the national identity and the Islamic religion, which represents the public life and the mainstream doctrine of the Saudi society. Islam is also the reference point for all Saudi systems, procedures, and decisions.
