The primary objective that lies behind the attention paid to student activities is to provide a healthy and active atmosphere that enables each student to practice his hobbies, activities and suitable recreational preferences after the daily efforts exerted in studying.

The Department of Student Activities aims to help students to form a well-balanced personality and to invest their time in meaningful and fruitful programs to enhance their talents and abilities. Students also receive training in leadership, loyalty and in how to bear responsibility; brotherly ties among students are strengthened, and a spirit of cooperation and harmony is fostered among students and between students and their instructors. The department also provides opportunities for students to get to know some of the administrative and social aspects.

There are about 40 clubs supervised by the Student Activities Department, covering all scientific disciplines in the University, as well as sports, social, cultural and art activities. The University through the student fund provides full financial support for all approved programs and activities proposed by the student clubs.
