The purpose of the current research is to identify the dimensions and components of the use of new technologies in the fourth generation university. According to its purpose, the research method is applicable in terms of purpose, and qualitative in terms of implementation; type of descriptive and thematic analysis. The statistical population of this research includes 10 higher education specialists; prominent professors familiar with research work in the studied field. A targeted non-random sampling method of the available type was used. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect information. Data analysis was done with open, axial and selective coding and using MAXQDA2020 software. According to the analysis carried out using thematic analysis method to determine the dimensions and components of the use of new technologies in the fourth generation university, 5 dimensions, 13 components, and 47 indicators have been identified and confirmed.
