Sultan Bin Ahmed attends UoS graduation ceremony

Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and President of the University of Sharjah (UOS), attended the graduation ceremony for the Spring 2026 class at the University City Hall on Saturday.

The ceremony celebrated the academic achievements of 737 students graduating from the university’s Colleges of Medicine and Health Sciences, marking a significant milestone for the institution’s medical cohort.

Following the rendition of the UAE national anthem and a recitation from the Holy Quran, Prof. Esameldin Agamy, the Chancellor of the University of Sharjah, delivered an inspiring address emphasising that medicine and health sciences extend far beyond academic disciplines; they represent a vital humanitarian mission dedicated to alleviating suffering and preserving human life. In his remarks, he drew inspiration from the historical legacy of the pioneering Muslim scholar Abu Qasim Al Zahrawi, who devoted his profound knowledge to the service of humanity.

Graduate Aryam Khamis Al Naqbi delivered the valedictory address on behalf of the medical colleges, expressing her and her fellow graduates’ immense joy at reaching this major milestone after years of hard work and perseverance.

She noted that while the academic journey was challenging, it was worth every effort and sacrifice.

Al Naqbi expressed her gratitude and appreciation to Sheikh Sultan for his visionary support that has made Sharjah a beacon of knowledge and culture. She also commended the efforts of Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed Al Qasimi and his continued commitment to providing a distinguished academic environment that invests in future generations and actively shapes the future.

Concluding her speech, Al Naqbi praised the vital role of the University of Sharjah and its medical colleges in preparing and qualifying students both academically and practically.

She emphasised that the university is far more than an educational institution, as it fundamentally helps build character, broaden horizons, and instil lasting values of responsibility, diligence, and ambition.

Al Naqbi affirmed that their children’s success is the result of family sacrifices and their belief in their abilities.

For his part, graduate Ahmed Faisal Al Hammadi delivered the address on behalf of the Colleges of Health Sciences, expressing the graduates’ deep joy on this occasion, which crowns years of hard work, diligence, and perseverance.

Al Hammadi extended his deepest gratitude and appreciation to His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah for his unwavering support of the pursuit of knowledge and for his contributions to establishing Sharjah as a premier centre of culture and education.

Furthermore, he commended the university’s continuous efforts in preparing future generations to be both scientifically and professionally qualified to serve the community.

Al Hammadi expressed his appreciation to the academic and administrative staff for their significant role in guiding and supporting students throughout their years of study, and in preparing them to face future challenges with confidence and competence.

He urged his fellow graduates to uphold professional and humanitarian values in their future careers, to recognise the great responsibility they carry, and to work diligently in serving patients and the community. In doing so, he noted, they will truly reflect the mission of the healthcare professions and their vital role in improving human health and quality of life.

After the speeches, Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed Al Qasimi presented the graduates with their diplomas, congratulating them on their outstanding achievement and excellence. He wished them continued success and fulfillment in their future professional lives and in serving their nation.

During the ceremony, the graduates also took their professional oath in the medical and healthcare fields before Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, pledging to perform their medical and healthcare duties with the utmost dedication and sincerity.

The Spring 2026 cohort yielded a total of 737 bachelor’s degree graduates across the University of Sharjah’s medical and health sciences colleges.

This graduating class comprised 374 graduates from the College of Health Sciences, 155 from the College of Medicine, 107 from the College of Pharmacy, and 101 from the College of Dentistry.
