Graduate Characteristics

​Effat University has established a set of four core values inspired by the first word revealed by All to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) “IQRA" that means “READ" and which is an eternal call to read and learn. Graduates of Effat University are expected to acquire and demonstrate a set of characteristics directly linked to Effat IQRA Core Values. These characteristics are very general educational outcomes, but they provide the four behaviors that Effat University aspires to have for its graduates to make a positive change in the local and global community.

The table below shows the list of criteria for the achievement of each of the four main characteristics. For example, the Itqan (المتقن / المتقنة) characteristic is demonstrated through knowledge, critical and cognitive skills, problem solving skills, information and research skills, and interdisciplinary and integrative learning. On the other hand, the characteristic of Ihsan  (المحسن / المحسنة) ​is demonstrated through integrity and ethical values, self-respect and respect for others and pride in cultural heritage and tradition as well as being committed to health and well-being. Stewardship (الراعي / الراعية)​ characteristic is demonstrated through possession of independence and lifelong learning skills, enthusiasm, self-confidence and desire to excel as well as being engaged with the community and having responsible and reflective leadership skills. Finally, Ambassador ​(السفير / السفيرة) characteristic is demonstrated through reaching out to others, having effective communication skills, cooperation and team-work skills, global awareness and emotional intelligence. ​
