About Prince Sultan University
Prince Sultan University – the first non-profit university in Saudi Arabia - was established in 1998 by the people of Riyadh spearheaded by the university’s nurturer since its fruition, and the individual who pushed it to become one of the world’s best educational facilities today: HRH King Salman Bin Abdulaziz. Celebrating the late Prince Sultan Bin Abdulaziz’s return from his therapeutic trip in 1998, Prince of Riyadh (at the time) HRH Salman Bin Abdulaziz, was sure to convert this occasion into a project for growth pushing it to become a trailblazing cultural structure which provides future generations with great educational benefits in preparation for their professional lives following their studies.
