Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistic Studies
Description:
The Qassim region is one of the most densely populated regions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Six batches of the master's program in linguistic studies were graduated from the College of Arabic Language and Social Studies at Qassim University, in addition to those who obtained a master's degree from other departments, as these graduates demand to complete their higher studies in the doctorate; therefore, it is necessary to develop and update the department's doctoral program to allow them to complete their studies. - The government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques has taken quality as its motto (in word and deed), and the employees of the Education Department in the Qassim region need academically qualified leaders and experts at the highest scientific level in all fields.)
