Women’s application rate
Qassim University systematically measures and tracks women’s application, entry and completion. Its Policy for Women’s Applications, Acceptance and Participation requires an annual review of gender-equality indicators, including the share of female applicants accepted into every college and especially STEM fields; the University publishes new-student and graduate data disaggregated by sex on its Open Data portal; and colleges report their entrants by sex in their annual reports.
In 2025 women were 7,223 of 16,021 new students (45.1%), computed from the University’s open-data files; the Women’s Applications Policy (reviewed 3 Sep 2025) requires at least yearly monitoring of female acceptance by college (clause 9.1).
New students by college, gender, nationality, type of study, degree, scholarship, and semester of enrollment
The University’s Open Data portal publishes a dataset of new students classified by college, sex, nationality, type of study, degree, scholarship and semester of entry. The files for the first and second semesters of the 1446 AH academic year (2024/2025) were published in December 2025. The data come from the Deanship of Admission and Registration and are updated every semester, so women’s entry can be tracked across all colleges.
Policy for Women’s Applications, Acceptance and Participation: annual monitoring of female acceptance
Qassim University’s Policy for Women’s Applications, Acceptance and Participation, reviewed on 3 September 2025, requires the University to review its gender-equality indicators at least once a year. These indicators include the percentage of female applicants accepted into every college, with particular attention to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields (clause 9.1). The clause makes the monitoring of women’s acceptance a standing institutional obligation.
Measurement and percentage of male and female students
Figures show that the percentage of female students in most majors significantly exceeds the percentage of male students.
Academic Program Quality System at Qassim University
Program learning outcomes define the knowledge, skills, abilities and values students are expected to achieve on graduation. In programmes with both male and female sections, the same quality standards must be applied and the same educational resources provided, with separate data maintained for each section.
