There is no doubt that scientific research, as well as teaching, is a basic pillar of the University; the Deanship of Scientific Research is a primary vehicle for spreading and developing knowledge in humanities, pure and applied fields.  

This is done via establishing quality units and creating a climate of interaction, creativity and development. Based on these principles, the KSU Deanship of Scientific Research, ever since it was established in 1419 A.H, has paid special attention to encouraging and developing scientific research in various fields of knowledge.
