Sana’a — On Sunday, August 3, 2025 AD, the Graphic Design and Multimedia Program at the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology of the University of Science and Technology launched its annual semester seminars for fourth-year female students, which are scheduled to run for nine weeks.
At the inauguration event, Prof. Dr. Bilal Al-Fahidi, Dean of the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, delivered a speech emphasizing the importance of these seminars in showcasing students’ projects and enriching them through discussions and feedback from the evaluation committee, faculty members, and industry experts. Al-Fahidi praised the excellence of the graphic design students’ projects and works, which have made them a source of pride for both the university and Yemen as a whole by consistently securing top positions annually in the Arab Design and Packaging Competition held in Lebanon. He also urged the graphic design students to fully prepare for active participation in this year’s competition.
These seminars, hosted at the Girls’ Branch of the University of Science and Technology, are part of the graduation requirements for senior-level students in the program, during which several graduation projects in graphic design and multimedia are discussed. This year’s seminar topics and directions varied to include printed media, promotional graphic works, interactive designs, awareness illustrations, visual identity branding, commercial advertisements, and designs in e-learning, civil society, marketing, and other fields.

Participants affirmed that these seminars provide a distinguished educational experience that helps prepare students for the job market by presenting and discussing their projects before an elite group of experts and designers, while offering them the opportunity to learn from feedback provided by the evaluation committee members.
Several faculty members who attended the first seminar—entitled “Dot” (Nuqta), which focuses on visually impaired women—praised the event, noting that these seminars do not solely focus on professional development but also foster analysis and critical thinking, creating a stimulating learning environment to employ modern technology, keep pace with technological advancements, corporate trends, and market demands, thereby contributing to the development of students’ skills and facilitating their entry into local and international job markets.
