An important delegation from Prince Sultan University visited the University
of Oxford on May 3rd and 4th.
The delegation was headed by PSU Rector, Dr Ahmed Yamani.
The Rector was accompanied by Dr Abdelhafeez Feda, Vice-Rector for Academic
Affairs, Mr Daniel Guillaume, Director of International Relations, Dr Majed
Al Mashari, Dean of CIS, Dr Kathleen Guillaume, Chair of the English
Department, PSU Women's College and Dr Hanif Akhtar from the College of
Business Administration.
The purpose of the visit was to negotiate and sign an Academic Cooperation
Agreement with the University of Oxford.
After two days of meetings with the heads of several departments, institutes
and colleges, both universities were able to identify several specific actions
in the fields of exchange of students and faculty members, research
collaboration, course development and joint awards programmes.
The Memorandum of Understanding which was signed at the end of the visit
marked a historical moment for both the university of Oxford and Prince Sultan
University.
PSU is the first University in the whole Middle East ever to sign such an
agreement with the University of Oxford, and Oxford is the first University
PSU signs an agreement with.
