Head of the Department
On behalf of myself and on behalf of my colleagues, members of the faculty, and staff of the Information Technology Department, I am pleased to welcome you to the department's page, hoping that you will find the information you need about the department.
The Information Technology Department is one of the five departments in the College of Computer and Information Sciences. It is the first university department in this field for female students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, opening up opportunities for Saudi women to enter the world of computing and information technology. King Saud University has taken on this role and has achieved leadership and excellence, contributing to the achievement of national and developmental goals for Saudi women.
Throughout its journey since 1408 H until now, the Information Technology Department has succeeded in graduating highly qualified citizens scientifically and skillfully in the field of information technology. The Information Technology specialization is distinguished by its inclusion of several areas in computer science, supported by a group of specialized faculty members who are experts in various research and academic fields.
The role of the department has not been limited to graduating female candidates with a bachelor's degree in information technology, but it has continued its pioneering role by being the first department to offer a master's program in information technology for female students. This allows students from all computer-related disciplines the opportunity to pursue their postgraduate studies in information technology, a field that is highly sought after in the job market and has wide academic and research opportunities.
The role of the Information Technology Department would not have been possible without the grace of God Almighty, and then the supportive and encouraging scientific and educational system represented by King Saud University in general and the College of Computer and Information Sciences in particular. Thanks and appreciation to all.
