The requirements and the process of admission of new students are described below:
- Students are directly and competitively admitted to the Bachelor's Degree program based on their cumulative average in the General Secondary Education Certificate (Tawjihi), which must be above the minimum average specified by the Ministry of Education.
- Students who are able to qualify for the engineering Bachelor's degree are the top students in their high schools in the scientific and industrial streams.
- A minimum average of 80% is required for admission to the Faculty of Engineering.
To obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering (Major) – Pharmaceutical Engineering (Minor), students must complete 137 credit hours over the standard four-year duration.
In the final year, students complete a graduation project that applies the knowledge gained throughout their studies to a practical problem in chemical or pharmaceutical engineering—often addressing local industrial needs with applicable engineering solutions.
Throughout the program, students undergo extensive hands-on training in both chemical and pharmaceutical engineering laboratories. These facilities provide a strong practical foundation and allow students to simulate and observe various chemical and pharmaceutical processes as they occur in real industrial environments. The department features a well-equipped infrastructure that enhances students’ understanding of industrial operations and prepares them for professional work settings.
