In this era of the renewed renaissance, under the leadership of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, the Supreme Commander, the College continues its journey of development and modernisation. The College receives the highest level of attention and unwavering support in order to further strengthen its educational and research capabilities.
