4th Strategic Plan 2024–2030

Fourth Strategic Plan: D-R-I-V-E (2024–2030).

Message from the President | Prince Sultan University

For more than two decades, Prince Sultan University has pursued a bold and ambitious path—guided by strategic plans that strengthened our foundation, expanded our reach, and aligned us with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. From PURPOSE to LEADER to EMPOWER, each plan has elevated PSU’s role as the Kingdom’s pioneering private university.

Now we embark on our Fourth Strategic Plan: D-R-I-V-E (2025–2030). Built on extensive consultation, benchmarking with world-class universities, and full alignment with Vision 2030, DRIVE represents both continuity and transformation. Its five pillars define our direction for the next five years:

  • Dynamic Student Success & Lifelong Learning
  • Responsible & Sustainable Campus Environment
  • Innovation & Research for High Impact
  • Vibrant Community Service & Global Partnerships
  • Excellence in Academic & Workplace Readiness

Already, PSU is setting new benchmarks: more than 90% of graduates employed within six months; over 40 faculty members ranked among the world’s top 2% of scientists globally; 30+ million SAR in research grants secured; and major sustainability milestones, including hosting international conferences and significantly reducing paper use. Soon, the launch of our College of Space & Aviation Sciences and a new Medical School will expand PSU’s academic horizon and global influence.
