Through its numerous outreach programmes, PSAU engages and encourages female applications in all its programmes, particularly where they are underrepresented. In this regard and thanks to the phenomenal changes taking place in the kingdom, the University will be commencing extending admissions to programmes where female enrolment was hitherto not available. In Spring 2022, PSAU welcomed its first ever cohort of female electrical engineering (EE) students.
In 2024, PSAU established a full fledged College of Nursing for female students in Al-Kharj. Additionally, the university officially opened its female campus, which brings all the female programmes under one roof.
Scholarships and other support are extended to female students across all programmes and courses in the university.
Furthermore, as part of its annual SDG-focused student training at Imperial College London, PSAU reserves seats dedicated for female students.
Through these policies and activities, PSAU encourages applications and enrolment of women in subjects where they are underrepresented. This aligns with the Saudi Vision 2030 initiatives that mandate female representation and participation in all facets of life.
