Abstract

Based on the latest announcement of the Ministry of Education, the job market needs require different methods compared to those, which currently are being adapted by universities. The current education system in Saudi universities still needs more improvement; it is mainly a theoretical knowledge based rather than a practical one.  Although it is important to enhance academic-industry partnerships and engagement through students’ involvement in professional work, there are limitations concerning the engagement among tutors, students and professional experts. It is been proven that combining between practical and theoretical Knowledge is extremely important to ensure a decent adaptation of both theories and practical skills. This research aims to examine the limited practical knowledge in Saudi universities. It will also investigate the feasibility and utility of combining both practical and theoretical Knowledge.
