U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

The undergraduate (B.S.) Chemistry program at LAU provide students with a broad-based education, which includes exposure to the core areas of chemistry (analytical, physical, organic and inorganic), and recently emerging technologies in both a classroom setting and in the laboratory within the context of the liberal arts curriculum. The program encompasses the latest methodologies and applications in the study of chemistry and provides students with access to advanced instrumental techniques, particularly through the integration of information technology solutions for chemical applications.

The program is a relatively small program with regard to the number of students. We do not offer a Master’s program in chemistry however during their senior year, chemistry students have to take a senior study course in which they conduct experiments that address a particular topic that is of interest to their research advisor. Our faculty is very much involved in research as can be seen from their prolific research records. Most collaborate with other faculty members within the department, faculty members in different schools, in addition to collaborations with other universities.

The B.S. in Computer Science program gives students a fundamental understanding of the theoretical principles of software and digital systems within the context of current technology. It is designed for career-oriented students as well as for students who wish to pursue graduate studies. The program is balanced between theoretical and applied courses. In addition to developing computing-related skills, students gain awareness of the human and social aspects of computer systems, and how computer science relates to other disciplines.

The Department of Education at LAU strives for excellence in the preparation of qualified educators committed to evidence-based practices, respect for diversity, and ongoing personal and professional development. As advocated in our courses, and as actually practiced by our faculty, teaching and learning take place through hands-on / minds-on course whereby students construct their knowledge through activities, readings, Periodic reflections, Class simulations. Active learning permeates all courses.

Since the inception of the MA program in Education, Research has been an important component of our programs at large. Students in the MA program conduct a research thesis / project, which is the culmination of their MA courses, under the supervision of a faculty and the cooperation of two other faculty members. Research has also been a requirement at the undergraduate level. Our BA students are initiated to research in their Senior study course in the senior year. Most research projects / theses are conducted in schools and in cooperation with educators for data collection.

Electrical Engineering is a science-oriented branch of engineering, primarily concerned with all the phases of development and utilization of electric signals. The study of electrical engineering can be conveniently divided into the areas of circuits, electronics, electromagnetism, electric energy systems, communications, control, and computer engineering. Due to the extremely rapid growth and changes relating to the application of electrical engineering principles, the curriculum is designed for concentration on a solid core of basic foundation courses, covering all areas.

The program emphasizes the broad spectrum of applications of mechanical engineering, as well as the interaction with other engineering disciplines. Laboratory experimentation and computer simulation are used to train students on the understanding, design and testing of thermal and mechanical systems. Six credits of professional experience are included in the summer of the third year to give students an opportunity to integrate classroom instruction with practical work experience as a part of their academic program.

Our curriculum focuses on outcomes, emphasizes abilities and promotes self-dependent and lifelong learning. It highlights early clinical exposure, integration of basic and clinical sciences, small-group teaching, experiential learning, and inter-professional and simulation-based education. Learning is enabled through a multidisciplinary and team-based approach to healthcare delivery, the adoption of various educational strategies, and is facilitated by feedback and role modeling. Ongoing curricular improvement and capacity building are core principles.
Profile in research

Research, the major contributor to the advancement of science, is a core value at our MD program. It is emphasized both at the learner (student and trainees) and teacher (faculty) levels. Education of students to become researchers and to adopt an inquisitive and critical approach to science and medicine is a core requirement in our curriculum. Faculty engagement in research is driven by an environment that values scholarly work, recognizes research contribution, supports, promotes and rewards inter-disciplinary and collaborative scholarly work.
