Historical and Archaeological Studies Unit

The specific objectives of establishing a unit for historical and archaeological studies within the Academic Studies Center encompass all its scientific disciplines and diversity, with the aim of achieving several goals related to these important scientific specializations in human life and the current job market. Some of the key objectives include:

  • Contributing to the formation of a distinguished generation of researchers in the fields of historical and archaeological studies in a scientifically and academically sound manner.
  • Qualifying students and researchers in these specializations to engage in the job market. It is known that history and archaeology are sought-after specializations in the current job market in various fields, including teaching history and archaeology at educational institutions at all levels, working in tourism guidance and its various sectors, and working in heritage and archaeological sites.
  • Raising awareness among students and young researchers about the value of national history for each individual and the importance of archaeology and heritage in affirming national identity in a scientific and methodological manner, away from intellectual bias, especially regarding national issues.
  • Organizing scientific and academic courses for students and young researchers to further qualify them and enhance their scientific knowledge, enabling them to serve the issues of their country.
  • Qualifying students and researchers in the fields of historical and archaeological research scientifically by offering specialized scientific diplomas in these scientific fields delivered by researchers and archaeologists who are experts and competent in these scientific fields.
