Princess Nourah University launches academic acceleration scheme

The Deanship of Admission and Registration at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University launched the Academic Acceleration System for the 2024-2025 academic year targeting secondary education female students admitted to the university. The system aims to accelerate the educational path for female undergraduates according to their abilities and educational excellence, enabling them to graduate sooner.

The system is divided into two tracks. The first consists of academic acceleration to pass the foundation year, a concept designed for women in secondary education admitted to the university.

It enables them to enroll directly in courses from the major they would like to pursue without having to enroll in foundation year courses. The second track consists of a comparison process after passing tests in specialized education, under which the student enrolls in the remaining courses that were not included in the system.

Female students wishing to apply for the academic acceleration system are required to be admitted to the university through one of two tracks, either in the engineering foundation year or the health foundation year, with a composite score rate of no less than 89 percent.
