Qualification Framework for Higher Education: TQF: HEd. The university aims to produce graduates with preferable attributes, such as: moral, ethical, wisdom based,
interpersonal skills; responsible behavior, competence, numeric skills, communication skills, and information technology skills. If graduates are equipped with these
qualities, the university is certain that they will be able to compete in the global job market. Nevertheless, to achieve these goals, the potential for improvement and
the acquiring of qualifications by lectures is also encouraged. According to the trend of education, it is necessary to adopt a variety of teaching methods and techniques.
Consequently, the university has to fully support the life-long learning, both of students before they enter the job market, as well as graduates in the job market. Hence,
improvements and up to date teaching methods and techniques are encouraged, to meet with academic and career development standards.

of human resource management; research promoting the recovery and preservation of the environment; research about industry; health science and the development

the development of education and higher standards of living, and medical and public health services. However, the availability of some particular academic services depends
on the budget of organizations that require them; especially academic services that are organized for those who have high financial support, such as those in the business and
industrial sectors. Also, there should be a mutual consideration of investment and collaboration between us and the private sector concerning some particular kinds of academic
service, in order to achieve specific goals. Above all, it is necessary to establish a collaboration between the university and the local administration in the upper northern
region, as well as with private companies, in order to create strength and be accepted by the general public.
