Women's education in Saudi Arabia has received tremendous attention, enabling women to achieve distinguished achievements locally and globally, bringing forth leading female models across fields of science and knowledge.
Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University stands as one of the prominent fruits of this attention. The journey began early with the establishment of the first women's educational college in 1970, expanding to dozens of colleges across the Kingdom. In 1427 AH, a royal decree was issued establishing the first comprehensive university for women in Riyadh, activated in 1428 AH.
In 1429 AH, the cornerstone was laid for the university campus, later named Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, commemorating the sister of King Abdulaziz, to become a leading academic monument reflecting women's empowerment and role in development.
