Concerning the research activities, the number and specialties of the faculty members are sufficiently enough to interact and supervise the number of teaching assistants and postgraduate students in completing their MSc and PhDs`. In this connection, unfortunately no funded research projects in any department and there is no research plan in the different departments or the faculty. In addition, there are no collaboration or research activities interdepartmental except for minor collaboration of the graduate students during completing their MSc. & Ph.D. (see: research & scholastic activities).
