Colleges of Excellence Expands Global Reach Through Partnerships with Leading UK Institutions

Colleges of Excellence has enhanced its international presence at the GREAT FUTURES in London by signing a series of strategic agreements with prominent British partners.

 The agreements included a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the University of Surrey to establish a university of applied sciences in Saudi Arabia based on international educational standards. A cooperation agreement was also signed with Lincoln College International to operate the International Technical Colleges (Itqan) and provide advanced training programs in inspection, welding, health, and safety. In addition, a separate MoU was signed with City & Guilds to develop curricula, professional standards, and accreditations in technical and vocational training in line with the latest international practices.

 These partnerships aim to raise the quality of education and training to international standards, equip national cadres with competitive skills that meet labor market needs, and support the Vision 2030 objectives for human capital development.

 Colleges of Excellence emphasized that these agreements mark an important step toward positioning the Kingdom as a leading global hub for applied education and training, reflecting the leadership’s commitment to preparing Saudi youth for a prosperous future.
