Naif Arab University for Security Sciences (NAUSS) in Saudi Arabia has secured full five-year accreditation from France’s High Council for Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (HCÉRES) for three of its core academic programmes: the Masters in Criminal Law and Forensic Sciences, the Masters in Criminology, and the Postgraduate Diploma in Human Rights and Criminal Justice, reports the Saudi Gazette.

University President Dr Abdulmajeed Al-Bunyan said the achievement reflects NAUSS’ ongoing commitment to academic excellence and quality standards. “This international accreditation enhances the university’s leadership role in preparing Arab leaders and experts in the legal and security sectors,” Al-Bunyan said, emphasising its alignment with the strategic objectives of Arab interior ministries and regional security institutions.

The accreditation follows a comprehensive review conducted by HCÉRES assessors and confirms NAUSS’ compliance with European quality benchmarks in higher education and scientific research. It also strengthens confidence among stakeholders in the university’s academic output.
