Welcome Message
On behalf of the College of Sciences and Humanities at Fahad Bin Sultan University, it is my great pleasure to extend a warm welcome to you. To our freshman and transfer students, thank you for joining us; to our returning students, we are equally grateful for your continued dedication to pursuing your degree with us. To all our guests, it is truly an honor to welcome you to the College of Sciences and Humanities.
The faculty and staff of the College work in a spirit of unity and collaboration to serve our students and position the University as a leading institution of higher education — not only in Tabuk, but across the region. Through the wide spectrum of courses it offers, the College constitutes the intellectual heart of the University, serving the entire student body at all levels. Our offerings include basic sciences (chemistry and physics), mathematics, languages (Arabic, English, and French), physical education, and social and cultural studies (World Civilizations, Islamic Culture, and the History of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). These courses provide the foundational liberal arts core that underpins the University’s professional programs.
In addition to its diverse service courses, the College grants bachelor’s degrees in three programs: English Language & Translation, Law, and the newly established Nursing Program — designed to prepare highly skilled, compassionate healthcare professionals to meet the growing needs of our community and beyond.
Now, more than ever, graduates live in a world where the ability to integrate knowledge and skills from diverse disciplines is essential. The College fully recognizes this reality and works continuously to create opportunities for students to connect, integrate, and apply what they learn in real-world contexts.
We are delighted to welcome you into this distinguished community of learners and scholars. Together, we will support you in achieving your aspirations and empower you with the skills, knowledge, and competencies that will serve you for a lifetime.
