Admissions
Apply to Al-Mamoun University
Applications and admissions are processed exclusively through the Ministry of Higher Education’s Qaddim platform and according to the dates and regulations announced by the Ministry.
The essential point
Applications are electronic and dates are set by the Ministry
Al-Mamoun University does not receive paper admission applications and does not set the opening or closing date. Once the Ministry announces admissions, the applicant uses Qaddim to complete the profile, submit choices and follow the result.
This page is a practical guide. If any detail differs, follow the Qaddim platform and the Ministry’s announcement for the relevant academic cycle.
Registration and application steps on Qaddim
-
Open Qaddim when applications begin

Protect your login details Never share the examination number, secret code or verification code, and review all data carefully before confirming the form.
-
Special channels have additional requirements If you are eligible for a special channel, activate it inside the platform and follow its instructions. The Ministry may require an electronic appointment at a verification centre.
