At the same time technological developments are by nature a force that induces people to find solutions in order to save time and effort by using the utmost findings of science regarding techniques and means of communication. The electronic mail is an excellent example of this constant research. Not so long ago, the concept of the E-mail was just a vision. Today it is the fastest, most reliable and most used system of communication all over the world. All these factors engender the necessity for SVU, an academic institution that aims at providing a world class higher education for the Syrian and Arab students from within their homes through the internet. That can only be achieved by creating a complete academic and electronic environment which relies on a highly developed network that provides university degrees from the leading American and European institutions along with different types of support and help for the students, under the supervision of a virtual community of professors, experts and Arab instructors from all over the globe. The Syrian Virtual University relies upon advanced techniques used by virtual universities. While the traditional institutions are limited to a conversion of their own established curricula into electronic ones through their websites on the Internet, SVU presents several different virtual universities in order to grant the students a wide variety of choices and an extensive number of curricula from numerous academic resources. International and local Accreditation The Syrian Virtual University has ensured for itself an internationally recognized credibility. Indeed, the degrees offered are accredited worldwide by the official international Accreditation Agencies, as well as by the Syrian Ministry of Higher Education. SVU also enjoys from its strategic partnerships with leading industrial and business corporations which grant the university another dimension of credibility by offering to the students the chance to participate in top trainings and internships and to establish contacts for employment after graduating.Student Journey: Easy and Guaranteed The Administrative office grants many services that help the students overcome the distress of registration, admission and payment processes by taking care of these procedures for the students. In addition to these administrative assistances, SVU provides Career Planning and Academic Support of a team of advisors who are there to guide the students in the most appropriate way through their studies. SVU also presents different means to interaction and discussions in high standard academic specialized communities. The Syrian Virtual University offers a unique chance for its students and scholars to access more than two hundred million different references.The role of SVU is clearly translated in the different services it provides in addition to the educational responsibility it serves. On top of the Electronic Learning and the different features which allow the students to work from any place and at any time, SVU also grants a wide variety of scientific majors which are not available in our local and regional universities and prepares the future Human Resources according to the needs of the Knowledge Economy. Furthermore the Syrian Virtual University presents tailor-made certificates for the employees who wish to upgrade their skills in different fields of our economy, such as tourism, banking, e-business and more. In addition to offering higher education degrees, SVU offers a support to the school teachers, university professors, doctors, engineers, lawyers and army officers in order for them to improve their level. The Syrian Virtual University established several Telecenters in all Syria where the students in all the areas of the country can have a free of charge access to a fast Internet connection, and thus an immediate access to SVU services. Different languages, modern and developed curricula The university proposes a variety of curricula in different languages
in a technological environment that can be used in different manners,
from studying in a virtual classroom and virtual communities to a
personalized workspace for each of the student with a private e-mail
which connects the learner directly to the modern age and its tools.
SVU follows you wherever you go In addition to planning and support the students although their academic journey until graduation, SVU follows them wherever they go. Indeed some harsh circumstances might impose on students to travel because of financial problems or family reasons for example. With SVU, this does not cause any problem since the students can go anywhere, anytime, without having to interrupt their studies or their advisors, and therefore will not miss any of the advantages and services provided by the university.The Syrian Virtual University does not aim to replace the traditional institutions. On the contrary, both complement each other. The urgent need for new technologies imposes on traditional institutions the obligation to find a way to shorten distances. Similarly the increasing number of students seeking a an advanced and developed higher education and the growing awareness of the students regarding this matter drives the Higher Education executives to find different solutions in order to provide for the students' needs in the 21st century. |
