About King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences

The Saudi Arabian National Guard health services paved the way for the establishment of this new university that focuses on medical and health majors. Hosted in King Abdulaziz Medical City for the National Guard, the university offers its programs in two campuses in Riyadh and Jeddah, and potentially in other provinces in the Kingdom. The university enjoys a considerably low student/faculty ratio that is considered among the lowest in Saudi universities. The programs offered at the university are carefully developed and offered based on the nationwide recruitment and human resources current and future needs. Such programs include Health Informatics, Genetics, Clinical Chemistry, and Clinical Labs Sciences. Some of these programs are offered only in a few universities around the world such as the Clinical Chemistry.
Offering its programs based on strict and highly selective admission criteria, the university works with the Ministry of Higher Education to develop further programs that respond to the pressing educational needs of the Saudi National Guard health services as well as the Saudi health sector. The university has the advantage of operating from King Abdulaziz Medical City for the National Guard which gives the university access to so many different resources that any distinguished school in health or medicine longs to have.
