Welcome to the College of Dentistry and Pharmacy, Buraydah Colleges!

As vice dean of the College, I am proud of the strong tradition of providing practical, experiential-based dental and pharmacy education that our college has promoted since its founding. Our dental and pharmacy programs prepare students to become leaders and life-long learners with knowledge, skills, values, and attributes necessary to meet the challenges and needs of a time of critical socio-economic transition. Located in the central city of the Qassim province and its proximity to Qassim university, the College offers unique opportunities for students to engage in various academic and professional activities. Our experiential training courses and community outreach has not only benefited healthcare providers and community but has provided perfect opportunity for our students to begin putting their education into practice.

Central to the success of our students and alumni, has been the professional and experience-based knowledge that our faculty bring into the classroom. The research and community service contributions of our faculty continue to drive change with a positive societal impact at the Buraydah Colleges, in the community, and across the region.

I invite all of you to explore our college further either online or through a campus visit to expand knowledge, enrich your careers, and take advantage of the wealth of opportunities Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has to offer.
