Saudi Arabia, through its Vision 2030, seeks to enhance the Quality of Life (QoL) of all individuals who live there. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the of QoL of students with disabilities in a Saudi university (Shaqra University) as a case study. Although this study was conducted in one university, many students with disabilities around the world are facing the same systematic practices in many universities (Carballo et al., 2021; Khayatzadeh-Mahani et al., 2020). Therefore, this study used qualitative research by interviewing all students with disabilities who are registered at the university for the academic year 2022-2023. In addition to these 11 students with disabilities, 2 senior university administrators who have a direct relationship with the services provided to these students were also interviewed. The overall outcomes confirm that the QoL for these students is very low due to multiple factors that were discussed in detail.
沙特阿拉伯通过其“2030 愿景”，旨在提高所有居住在那里的个人的生活质量（QoL）。因此，本研究旨在以沙特一所大学（沙迦大学）的残疾学生为例，考察他们的生活质量。尽管这项研究是在一所大学进行的，但世界各地的许多残疾学生在许多大学都面临着同样的系统实践（Carballo 等人，2021；Khayatzadeh-Mahani 等人，2020）。因此，本研究采用定性研究方法，对 2022-2023 学年在该校注册的所有残疾学生进行了访谈。除了这 11 名残疾学生，还对 2 名与为这些学生提供的服务有直接关系的资深大学管理人员进行了访谈。总体结果证实，由于讨论的多个因素，这些学生的生活质量非常低。
