Saudi Students Association (SSAUQ)

The Saudi Students Association’s activities at UQ target three groups: current Saudi students and their ‎families, ‎future students, and UQ students and staff. The first aim is to help current Saudi students by creating a ‎positive ‎and social environment that would make ‎their academic and non-academic goals achievable. The first aim ‎can be ‎achieved by utilizing UQ resources in creating sport, ‎social, academic or non-academic skills training events ‎for ‎society members. Also, the association will create several ‎activities that will support students academically, ‎‎psychologically, and socially. The second aim is designed to help prospective UQ students who need to learn ‎‎more about the university or ‎Brisbane in general. Also, they may need some help upon their arrivals related to ‎‎housing and bank account…etc. The association ‎will ‎create an experience transfer link between prospective, current ‎‎and graduated students‎ to answer future students’ academic and non-academic inquiries‎. The final aim is to ‎introduce Saudi ‎Arabian culture to other students and learn their customs and traditions. This aim can be achieved ‎by ‎participating ‎in UQU events such as a market day or ‎inviting others to join society’s social events such as the ‎‎Saudi Arabia national-day or Eid celebration.‎
