Message from the President

A confident, sustainable pace of growth.

Greetings from Alfaisal University.

Since its founding by the King Faisal Foundation in 2002, as one of the first private, non-profit, research and student-centred universities in the Kingdom, Alfaisal University has been advancing at a confident and sustainable pace to serve the community as a quality education provider in Saudi Arabia. The University maintains strong relationships with international and local universities and business communities, working closely with organizations to stay at the forefront of advanced pedagogical practices.

English is the language of instruction in our six colleges — Business; Engineering & Advanced Computing; Medicine; Science; Pharmacy; and Law & International Relations. Each offers world-class undergraduate and graduate programs for the finest male and female students in the Kingdom and the region. Located in the heart of Riyadh, the centre of commerce, industry and research, and with our solid reputation and affiliations with leading hospitals, more students than ever are looking to launch their medical career at Alfaisal University.

Alfaisal University is a highly diverse and welcoming community with a beautiful campus — big enough to have an international presence and impact, yet small enough that students develop a strong sense of community with lifelong connections to friends and mentors.

Big enough to have an international presence and impact, yet small enough that students build lifelong connections with friends and mentors.

Alfaisal University's rise to prominence has been the result of many factors: the contributions of talented and dedicated faculty; the energy, enthusiasm and inventiveness of our graduate and undergraduate students; the dedication of excellent staff; the passion of our founders to make a difference in the Kingdom and the world; and the continued support of our donors and partners.

I invite you to explore what Alfaisal has to offer through our website, and to discover what sets us apart from other fine universities.
