The study used the analytical descriptive methodology including statistical package for social sciences (SPSS), arithmetic averages, one way variable analysis (ANOVA) and Scheffe – test. In order to collect the necessary information, a questionnaire was developed by the researcher which consists of 43 items covering the problems in six fields of study: time management, scientific supervision, faculty members, study skills, curriculum and assessment. The questionnaire was distributed on a sample which was formed from all master’s female students at the Faculty Education at Al-Taif University, in the first semester of the academic year 1434/1435.

The last rank was occupied by the problems of study skills with an average of (2.84), “medium” degree. 3) There were no statistically significant differences at the level (a ≤ 0.05) due to the variable specialization. 4) There were significant differences at the statistical level of (a ≤ 0.05) due to study level in favor of the first level.
