The date of admission and registration of students is the date of approval by the responsible vice president

of the university as a commissioner of the graduate studies and research council.

The college is entitled to impose supplementary courses to offset the preparatory year of master degree that

the student should reimburse 500 pounds for each course with maximum of 2000 pounds with the

exception of demonstrators from the payment of such fees.



The student should prepare a plan of a scientific research in an innovative subject which is approved by the

council of the department and approved by the graduate studies committee and college council, and

approved by the responsible authorities of the university within two years from the date he/she registered

for postgraduate study in condition that he/she passed 14 credit hours at least (the college council decided

on January 17th 2006 that these 14 credit hours which the student achieved include faculty requirement

courses )

The student must present a thesis to the discussion and governance committee that is constituted by the

proposal of the department concerned and the approval of the college council and the responsible

authorities of the university after at least six months from registering the research plan.

For a student to perform the practical part of the thesis in laboratories offered by the faculty, he/she should

attend a specialized training program for a period ranging from one day (cost 50 pounds ) to five days at

most (cost 250 pounds ).

The enrollment of the student is to be null if he/she is not able to obtain a master degree within four years

from the date of registration for graduate studies and the college council may license additional year after

approval of the report submitted by the supervisor that is adopt by the responsible authorities.

The university grants the master degree in physical therapy upon approval by the college council according
