المستخلص: Sudan is one of the countries characterized by an internal diverse society. This demographic diversity is reflected in different institutions such as schools and universities, where students from different ethnic origins, tribes, and even religions coexist. This paper describes findings from a research project conducted between September 2011 and September 2013. The research addresses the perceptions and beliefs towards diversity and multiculturalism among students in Ahfad University for Women. The research designed for this study is a descriptive and interpretive case study that is analyzed through quantitative method. It is based primarily on questionnaire data collection method supplemented with expert opinion and a review of relevant literature. The study focused on primary research question: how student’s beliefs on and perceive diversity? The main findings of this study are: Students tend to define culture in connection with religion or origin (country, region or ethnic group), so their culture was Sudanese, Islamic, Arab, etc. Their idea that Sudan is a diverse country is based on the differences of religion, origin, language, sex, economic status, tribe, age, ability, race and political beliefs in that order. Students chose traits related to origin and socioeconomic status as the main ones to define and identify people. Students ’ beliefs about the advantages of diversity are solid. Students’ beliefs about what can be considered fair and unfair is quite clear. They were aware of persistent inequalities in their society, which they related mostly to sex and tribe.
