The aim ofthis study was to evaluate the quality of life among university students. A total sample of N=311 full-time university students from various programmes in a cross-sectional study design participated in this study. The instrument used was the World Health Organization QOL-BREF questionnaire. The highest score of QOL was the social relationship domain (3.77 ± .766) and the lowest was the physical health domain (2.71 ± .397). An Independent sample t-test was employed to measure the differences of quality of life’s domains between gender, level of study and athletes and non-athletes. Some differences were observed (p < .05). Health education programs should be conducted at the university to improve students’ QOL as the findings indicated a moderate level (3.73 ± .634).
