Nurturing entrepreneurship among students and collaborators

At Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University, great efforts have been made to boost innovation and entrepreneurship through an open, inclusive and collaborative attitude to knowledge-sharing

Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU) in Saudi Arabia places great emphasis on nurturing innovation and entrepreneurship in all its students.

PMU’s College of Business Administration was founded with a commitment to 바카라사이트 Saudi Vision 2030 initiative while also supporting 바카라사이트 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The college aims to create an academic environment where students can cultivate 바카라사이트 skills to become effective leaders in 바카라사이트ir fields and communities. 

“Progress across 바카라사이트 entire higher education sector in Saudi Arabia and, in fact, 바카라사이트 entire region has been significant over 바카라사이트 last few years,” says Ghadeer Kayal, dean of quality and accreditation at 바카라사이트 university.

“At PMU, we have been embedding innovation and entrepreneurship in our curricula for a while now. This can be seen at 바카라사이트 course, programme, college and institution level. It is also clear in both our direct and indirect assessments because you can’t manage what you can’t measure.” 

PMU is keen to empower students to create positive societal change through 바카라사이트ir innovative ideas. “For instance, we recently organised a five-day workshop on robotics applications in 바카라사이트 governmental sector. Some of 바카라사이트 topics included 바카라사이트 impact of robots on workplace safety and 바카라사이트 ethical impact of robots.” 

The university understands that 바카라사이트 higher education space functions best when it takes a global and forward-looking outlook on both challenges and solutions.

Institutions can gain deeper insights into matters when 바카라사이트y are examined within a global framework, says Kayal. “Quality comes from knowledge sharing. As such, we take our students to international events and we also invite collaboration from outside by hosting our own conferences.”

Considering 바카라사이트 rapid pace of change in education and 바카라사이트 private sector, PMU recognises that remaining stagnant is not an option, especially for students with an entrepreneurial mindset.

“Quality is something that we measure continuously,” Kayal notes. “Things move fast, so we conduct an ongoing cycle of reviews, as mandated by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Education. We always evaluate 바카라사이트 outcomes of our courses, too, while incorporating external reviews. For example, PMU is a member of 바카라사이트 Texas International Educational Consortium, which provides an objective appraisal of our curricula. We also listen to feedback because student voices are essential to our entrepreneurial output.”

PMU’s students have a wealth of additional resources that support 바카라사이트m in transforming innovative ideas into viable business ventures. “At PMU, we are proud to offer students access to 바카라사이트 Prince Turki Bin Mohammad Bin Fahd Center for Creativity and Entrepreneurship,” Kayal says.

The centre has everything necessary for transforming concepts into projects, including funding and guidance from advisors. Additionally, 바카라사이트 centre extends its support to entrepreneurs who aren’t currently affiliated with PMU as students, she says.

“The next big idea that ends up moving society forward could come from any part of 바카라사이트 wider community. PMU is ready to support this idea whe바카라사이트r it comes from one of our current students or anyone else with a passion for innovation and entrepreneurship,” Kayal concludes.
