Bisha University

History

In 1435 H, a Supreme Decree was issued to establish the University of Bisha. According to this decree, the University of Bisha consisted of the former branches of King Khalid University in Bisha, Bilqarn, Namas, and Tathleeth. The University of Bisha, since then, has been seeking to upgrade the academic and the institutional work in it. These efforts were crowned with the announcement of the first strategic plan of The University of Bisha (2017-2022), in which the university set a vision, mission and strategic goals that are in line with the national directions for development and the Kingdom’s vision (2030). Thanks to God, the Almighty, a number of initiatives and projects have emerged from the strategic plan, aiming to achieve the university’s mission in accordance with the latest national and international quality practices. The university has set quality assurance standards determined by the National Center for Academic Accreditation and Assessment as one of the most important starting points for its practices and activities.
