We get it; choosing a major isn’t easy. For many students, it’s one of the first big decisions they must make about their future, and the pressure can feel intense.
You might find yourself asking: What if I choose the wrong path? What if I don’t enjoy it? What if it doesn’t lead to a real career? It’s easy to feel lost in a sea of options, especially when you’re trying to balance your personal interests with what the job market demands.
We know how important it is to study something that feels meaningful, something that excites you but opens doors at the same time. And even after you figure out what you want to study, another big decision awaits you: finding a university that can help you grow, challenge you, and prepare you for what comes next.
In your research, you may come across many universities offering outstanding programs. However, one option stands out: Dar Al-Hekma University.
This prestigious institute is known for its commitment to academic excellence and empowering the next generation of women through its forward-thinking bachelor’s programs. Therefore, in this article, we’ll walk you through three of its most impactful and in-demand programs—programs that will be the starting point for the journey ahead.
1. Bachelor of Cybersecurity (Computer Forensics Track)
It’s no secret that today, data has become the currency of our digital lives, and as cyber threats escalate in complexity and frequency, the demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals has never been greater.
Recognizing this pressing need, Dar Al-Hekma University offers a comprehensive Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity with a specialized track in Computer Forensics.
This four-year program teaches students how to outsmart cyber threats by tracing digital footprints, decoding cybercrimes, and defending critical systems with precision and purpose. Don’t think about this program as just computers and code. It’s about justice, about learning how to uncover hidden truths in a world where crime has gone online.
DAH’s Bachelor of Cybersecurity follows global standards set by ACM and IEEE, combining theory with hands-on training in malware analysis, ethical hacking, and risk management.

2. Bachelor of Diplomacy and International Relations
What sets this program apart is that it’s the first and only undergraduate program in Saudi Arabia tailored specifically for women pursuing a future in international relations.
Taught entirely in English—the language of diplomacy, global institutions, and international networks—the program opens doors for students to engage with leaders worldwide.
The four-year curriculum will shape their understanding of global politics, economics, international law, and negotiation, preparing them to lead clearly and confidently. Graduates will be equipped for careers in diplomacy, foreign affairs, international organizations, and non-government organizations.
For those who wish to pursue advanced studies, the program provides a strong foundation for graduate degrees like Dar Al-Hekma’s own Master of Commercial Law.
3. Bachelor of Visual Communication (Motion Graphics Track)
Instagram Reels, digital ads, and social media feeds all have one thing in common…they rely on visuals that grab attention in seconds. That kind of impact doesn’t happen by chance; it’s crafted by motion graphic designers who can turn ideas into eye-catching, animated stories.
DAH’s four-year visual communication bachelor’s program trains students to do exactly that. With courses in 2D and 3D animation, motion tracking, and digital illustration, students learn to create content that moves, literally and emotionally.
