History and profile

FBSU was established in Tabuk as a private college in 2003 under the patronage of Prince Fahd bin Sultan, governor of Tabuk Province.[3] At the initial phase, it included only College of Computing. In the academic year 2007-2008, a branch for female students was added, and the college was opened by the late Sultan bin Abdulaziz.[4] One year later, two colleges were added; the College of Engineering and of Business and Management.[3] Therefore, the university is made up of three colleges, all focusing on technical fields. It provides undergraduate and postgraduates programs.[5]

The campus of the university is 10 km away from Tabuk.[6] In October 2011, it gained the status of the university.[7] It is accredited by ABET.[8]

The university is governed by a board of trustees chaired by Prince Fahd.[3] Ahmed Nasri is the president of the University.[9]
