Naif Arab University for Security Sciences (NAUSS) was established in 1978 as part of an Arab resolution to form the first Arab university specialized in graduate studies, research, and training in security sciences. Since then, the university has played a key role as the scientific body of the Arab Interior Ministers Council (AIMC). As a regional organization, the university holds observer member status in many regional and international organizations’ councils, such as UNODC and INTERPOL. The vision of NAUSS is to be the premier institution in educating the next generation of Arab experts and leaders in security sciences. To achieve this vision, the university has recently announced its new strategy 2019-2023, where many initiatives have been launched. These initiatives include establishing many centers of excellence in areas such as Cybercrimes and Digital Investigation. Located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the university currently offers graduate programs in many areas such as Criminal Justice, Criminology, Counterterrorism, Nuclear Security, and Financial Integrity.
