Study Plan at Master Stage:
It would be at two methods:
1- By Courses and Dissertation: Academic units must not be less than 24 and not exceeding 30 academic units, and courses must not be less than two courses and not exceeding three ones, in addition to the thesis.
2- By Courses only: This would especially be available at some professional academic majors. Academic units must not be less than 42 ones, including a research project equivalent to three academic units at least. Courses must not be less than three ones.
Study Plan at PhD Stage:
It would be at two methods:
1- By Courses and Dissertation: Academic units must not be less than 30 and not exceeding 40 academic units, and courses must not be less than three courses and not exceeding five ones, in addition to the dissertation.
2- By Dissertation and some Courses: This would especially be available at some professional academic majors. Academic units must not be less than 42 ones, including a research project equivalent to three academic units at least. Courses must not be less than three ones.
Ratio of Academic Curricula and Dissertation in Light of Grade Given to Student
If the Master program would be study by courses and dissertation, 40 % will be for curricula and 60 % for the dissertation, and if the PhD program would be study by courses not less than 30 units, 40 % will for curricula and 60 % for the dissertation. In PhD program would be study by courses not less than twelve units, 20 % will be for curricula and 80 for the dissertation.
Study Plan for One Full Year:
Academic year is consisting of two separated semesters, each of them being not less than 15 weeks, and not including the registration and exam periods. In addition to a summer semester, which is not less than 8 weeks.

Definite Deadline of Obtaining a Degree
The prescribed period for a master's degree must be at least four semesters, and not more than eight semesters, summer semesters doesn’t include in this period. The prescribed period for a doctorate degree must be at least six semesters, and not more than ten classes, summer semesters does not include in this period.
Calculating Statutory Period for Master's and PhD
The time to get a regular degree is calculating for each student from the beginning of his/her registration until the supervisor providing a report to the head of the department, attaching a copy of the dissertation or any other requirements of the program.
Student Graduation and Obtaining a Degree
Student does not graduate from master or PhD program only after the termination of all degree requirements at a rate of not less than (very good).
Student Graduation at “Good” Rate
If a student finished the requirements for obtaining the degree at a cumulative rate less than (very good), he/she may be consider giving an extra period of one semester or two semesters as an upper limit. This would be based on the recommendation of the department and college councils, which aims to raise the cumulative rate of the student with a study of some courses that have already been studied, if he/she has failed his/her registration will cancelled.
