University President

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions. Dear esteemed visitors and users of Gulf of Aden International University’s website, On behalf of myself and all members of Gulf of Aden International University, it is our pleasure to warmly welcome you to the university’s official website. We hope that this platform serves as an effective and tangible tool for introducing the university and disseminating information about its various activities, in alignment with its vision and mission. Since its establishment in 2018, the university has remained committed to fulfilling its noble academic and developmental mission, as articulated in its guiding principles. Despite numerous challenges and difficulties, the university’s leadership has tirelessly worked to realize its vision, mission, and strategic plans. This has been achieved by offering academic programs aligned with the local labor market’s needs in Al-Dhalea Governorate and by providing the necessary facilities and educational tools to meet the requirements of modern university education, both theoretical and practical. Believing in the importance of community partnership, the university has, since its inception, established the Center for Training, Qualification, and Community Service. This center undertakes numerous community activities, including training programs, workshops, awareness sessions, and the provision of expertise, studies, and consultations in various theoretical and practical fields. Despite its relatively short existence, the university has made commendable strides toward achieving its goals in education and community service. It continues to strive for ongoing development while adhering to quality assurance standards, academic accreditation, and excellence in all its functions. Furthermore, it is keen on fostering collaboration and continuous communication with other universities, educational and research institutions, and various active sectors of society to exchange expertise, enhance its programs, elevate its status, and improve its output of well-qualified graduates. These graduates possess the skills for success, creativity, innovation, and excellence, enabling them to compete, drive development, face challenges, anticipate the future, and keep pace with the rapid advancements in today’s world. The successes achieved by the university are, first and foremost, attributed to Allah Almighty and then to the significant efforts exerted by the University Board of Trustees, its administration, staff, members, students, and graduates. We hope our students and alumni will continue to raise the university’s stature within the community and maintain ongoing scientific, academic, and research relations with it. May peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be upon you.
