The College of Graduate Studies (CGS) was established in 1994 to  integrate under the same academic and managerial roof. The College currently includes a wide range of scientific disciplines that are unique and unavailable in other universities of the Arab Gulf states. The CGS offers integrated courses for students specializing in various  disciplines that are not commonly provided elsewhere.  Administratively, the CGS is structured in a way that allows academic flexibility across disciplines and fosters innovative graduate  education.
