Ten years of vision, a future still being written.

It is fitting that this message reaches you as Alfaisal University celebrates the tenth anniversary of its founding — one of the enduring achievements of the King Faisal Foundation, and an occasion to reflect on ten remarkable years of growth.

This anniversary is a celebration of all that has been accomplished: a decade inspired by the vision and foresight of our wise leadership, and shaped by an unwavering commitment to building the future generations of youth and citizens who will serve both this country and the world. It is also a moment to recognize the University's role in supplying the labour market with quality graduates equipped to meet the needs of the Kingdom, in step with the ambitions of Vision 2030.

Alfaisal is a non-profit university with six colleges — Business; Engineering & Advanced Computing; Medicine; Science; Pharmacy; and Law & International Relations. It is a student-centred, research-focused institution that maintains agreements and partnerships with prestigious universities and international research organizations from across the region and around the world.

Alfaisal's students and professors publish outstanding scientific research in many international journals and periodicals, and their work is often cited by other scholars. Moreover, they register a growing number of patents in the name of the University. Our students can look forward to promising careers, as Alfaisal maintains some of the highest graduate employment rates of any university in the Kingdom.

Alfaisal University has gladly become an advisory centre and clearing house, undertaking studies and research funded by contributions from many sources, in fulfilment of the University's mission to serve the community. We are equally dedicated to helping our students solidify their identity and cultivate their character, encouraging them to organize and participate in professional conferences, to launch events and initiatives that raise community awareness, and to develop their entrepreneurship and volunteer work.

Education is the basis for human development and the advancement of nations, and the University will continue along this path of excellence, unwaveringly.

King Faisal, when once asked what he envisioned for the future, said: “I hope that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, after fifty years, will be a source of knowledge for humanity.” Ten years into Alfaisal's journey, that vision continues to guide everything we do.
