Establishment

As TU believes in the importance of guidance to the development and service of the teaching-learning process and the community of universities, TU prides itself for being the venue of the Saudi Society for Academic Guidance. This Society is the first in KSA that specializes in all aspects of guidance whether academic, psychological, behavioral, social or professional

Significance

 

1. Contributing to the realization of the Kingdom’s 2030 Vision, part of which is the development of education according to the National Transformation Program since academic guidance contributes to developing the process and enhances its outcomes.

2. Benefiting from the international partnerships the University holds with global parties that are well versed in this regard such as the British Higher Education Academy.

3. Forming an academic network and an experience house from specialized personnel in Saudi universities, and investing their academic and professional experience in the process of academic guidance.

4. Having no associations concerned with academic guidance or are interested in developing the process of guidance, thus trying to bridge the gap in this regard.
