Application through the Unified Admission Platform​

Applications to Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University are submitted through the Unified Admission Platform, a national online portal that enables applicants to apply to Saudi public universities across Saudi Arabia through a single platform. The platform aims to streamline the admission process and provide equal opportunities by offering accurate and comprehensive information on academic programs, weighted admission scores, and each university's admission requirements. This helps applicants make informed decisions based on their academic performance, preferences, and aspirations.

 

General Admission Requirements

  1. The applicant must be a Saudi national or have a Saudi mother.
  2. The applicant must hold a high school diploma or equivalent qualification obtained inside or outside the Kingdom​.

  4. Applicants to the Foundation Year for Health Colleges must have obtained their high school diploma or equivalent qualification within the preceding year. For example, applicants who graduated from high school in 1447 AH may apply to the Foundation Year for Health Colleges in the 1448 AH admission cycle.

  7. The applicant must be medically fit.
