The Department of Design and Arts has been established with the inception of the University in 2004, and since then, has been growing rapidly in all aspects and is soon poised to become one of the best art departments in the Kingdom. The number of instructors, as well as the number of facilities, has been doubled ever since. The students enrolled in this Department can acquire both practical and theoretical skills in the hands of both artists as well as highly reputed instructors creating an association from which students can derive a sense of pride as they enrich their work experience while nurturing their favorite craftsmanship. Several state-of-the art drawing and design labs and other computerized facilities have been installed and made available for students and instructors.
