The College of Dentistry is an integral part of the Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University (PNU) collegiate system. Following the establishment of the university in 2008, policy and decisions makers recognized the necessity to have health colleges and facilities at PNU. Therefore, the College of Dentistry was established at PNU in 2012. The College of Dentistry (PNUCD) contributed significantly towards meeting one of the most important strategic objectives of the University which allies with the Kingdom's current vision 2030; Development of Women Leadership in all areas of education and healthcare. The College would be the only one in the Kingdom that would have a uniquely exclusive female student body and a predominantly women leadership in the roles of Dean, Vice Deans and chairpersons.

 

Curriculum in PNUCD is student-centered based on a comprehensive patient approach with multiple teaching methods that expand students' skills in evidence-based dentistry and problem solving. Based on global trends and local influencing factors that suggest that the ideal dentist must possess the ability to integrate medical and dental sciences, the PNUCD curriculum provides comprehensive patient care, emphasizes prevention, and practice based on evidence, works in interdisciplinary teams, with awareness of public health needs, and serves in a community-based environment.
