Alriyada College for Health Sciences
Alriyada College for Health Sciences was established based on a study conducted by the Economic and Social Department of the Emirate of Makkah Al-Mukarramah Region. It shows the urgent need for the Saudization of the health sector and nursing in particular.
Taking into account the Kingdom’s need for qualified nurses with a bachelor’s degree, Dr. Muhammad Ahmad Irfan and his partners decided in 2006 to establish the Leadership College for Health Sciences in cooperation with a number of major hospitals in Jeddah. To ensure the quality of the outputs, a joint program was adopted between the Entrepreneurial College of Health Sciences and Queen Margaret University during the first years of its establishment. This program has the distinction of being based on the latest teaching methods based on Evidence Based Learning and Integrated Sciences (Evidence Based Learning and Integrated Sciences). Since then, the college continues to serve the community under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, following the same distinguished, evidence-based curriculum that it adopted during its cooperation with the Scottish University and provided a highly qualified academic staff with great experience in the field of teaching.
