Promoted by and affiliated with the Al-Jedaani Group of Hospitals, KSA, it is located in the southern part of Jeddah'sJeddah's historic city, near the picturesque Red Sea coast. With a diverse range of very experienced national and international faculty members, Ibn Sina successfully provides an appropriate scientific atmosphere for teaching and learning Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Nursing courses. To keep up with international standards of education, all programs utilize the most up-to-date curricula available, enabling Ibn Sina to play a significant role in providing society with competent, highly qualified physicians and pharmacists.

Supporting the students in their efforts to get the best opportunities at the College to pursue excellence in their chosen programs is the topmost priority for us at Academic Affairs.
