Bachelor of Physics
Description:
The program was launched after its general approval within the framework of Imam Muhammad bin Saud University in June 1998 with the aim of covering the local labor market's need for specialized cadres in the field of physics, and the program continued after the establishment of Qassim University. The program obtained the accreditation of the German Azin Foundation in 2013 and the Saudi Education and Training Evaluation Commission accreditation in April 2023, and the accreditation was upgraded to full accreditation in May 2025.
