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