The division is one of the university’s core administrative bodies. It supervises the preparation and graduation of academic cadres and supports their capabilities to qualify for higher degrees (Higher Diploma – Master’s – Ph.D.) across various disciplines, from admissions planning and publishing application regulations to monitoring instructions and issuing official university orders for study leave and academic degree awards.
