In his address Dr Ivan Ninov, Executive Dean of Al Rayyan International University College, said: "By looking at our large number of prominent alumni we can say with certainty that we have been able to prepare you for a successful life and career.

The broad-based nature of you degrees has prepared you and given you the freedom to work and become successful in a number of industries”.
