The main objective of this study is to introduce the final results of a
research project that focused on the components of the intercultural competence
of female Saudi university students at the multicultural Jazan University in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from 2014 to 2017. After discussing the social roles of
academic female youth, the paper moves on to a literature review of the theoretical
approaches. The study employed a sample of 341 female students in different
academic specializations to investigate the components of their intercultural
competence and the potential of Saudi female professionalism. Hence, a structured
questionnaire was used. Results support the idea that the present generation of
Saudi females at university have the desire and ability to become interculturally
and globally competent university students, even though women in Saudi Arabia
still lag behind in many ways in their gender-separated society. Finally, the study
summarizes the four basic pillars of Saudi-specific cultural dimensions
