Dear UBT Community

Welcome to the Intellectual Awareness Unit (IAU) which is established based on the Noble Royal Decree No. (27526) and dated 6/21/1436 AH. Our aim is to create a moderate community that promotes values of citizenship and stands against all forms of extremist ideologies. We cordially invite you to help us develop immunity and self-protection against enemies of humanity.
Our vision is based on three crucial pillars;

The first pillar is to align with our strategic status as the heart of the Arab and Islamic world and embrace our religious identity which is central to overcoming the greatest challenges faced by society today.
The second pillar is to strengthen loyalty to religion, then to the rulers and to strengthen national belonging, which will enhance human security and resilience.
Finally, to combat extremism and extremist ideologies to achieve moderation and build a peaceful environment that is free of prejudice, violence, and racial injustice.
We now have a critical responsibility ahead of us where the actions and decisions we take as a university community will help us set the right course for the future.
