The Human Resources Directorate was established in 2005 and initially operated under the name “Personnel Affairs Directorate.” On March 9, 2014, the University Council approved renaming it the Human Resources Directorate to align with the academic and administrative developments of the University. The Directorate is responsible for implementing the University’s policies regarding the recruitment, training, and development of academic, administrative, and technical competencies.

It also provides services to the University staff, including faculty members and administrative personnel, in accordance with University policies.
