Comprehensive and accurate statistics constitute a basic and logical basis for making development decisions, and statistics also reflect a vision of different degrees to evaluate the educational and administrative field. Therefore, one of the most important factors in the development of academic and university work and scientific research is the availability of organized, logical and standardized statistics. Statistics also provide descriptive and evaluating indicators of institutional performance. This facilitates competitiveness at the local and global level. One of the basics in the planning and development work of any party is to find an entity that takes charge of building statistical tools and following up on the provision of data and information, processing and presenting them according to the level of need for the concerned party inside or outside the university. Whereas the University of Tabuk is working to achieve all the developmental aspects as part of the higher education system in the Kingdom and to ensure that it occupies a prominent position among universities, and to excel in its educational and research programs in all scientific fields, it was necessary to find a body that handles statistical work at the university. The university administration decided to establish a unit at the university called (the Statistics and Information Unit) linked to the university's vice president for development and quality and to undertake all statistical work at the university.
