Riyadh
Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University is a public university for female students located in Riyadh, and it is considered the largest women's university in the world. It is distinguished by its leadership in education and scientific research, and it contributes to supporting the knowledge economy through its local and international partnerships.
PNU focuses entirely on women’s education at scale: undergraduate and postgraduate routes in health sciences, engineering and computing, business, education, languages, and social sciences. Campus infrastructure is designed for a full women’s university experience — teaching hospitals and colleges, student services, and residential options aligned with university policy.
For international female students, PNU is frequently a priority shortlist because of its size, specialization, and visibility in Riyadh. Program competitiveness and funding differ by college; some pathways may be scholarship-based while others require tuition. Advisors help sort which colleges are currently open and what documents are required for the next intake.
