Al Yamamah University

Al Yamamah University was initially established as a singular college, “Al-Yamamah College.” It emerged as the second venture by the Alkhudair family into the private education sector within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, following their pioneering creation of the inaugural private schools known as Altarbiya Alnamouthajiya Schools (TNS) back in 1957, in Riyadh.

The progression of Al Yamamah College into a fully-fledged university is a tale of diligent dedication and commitment. In 2001, the college secured the endorsement of the Ministry of Higher Education, officially recognizing it as a national higher education institution. In September 2004, it welcomed its inaugural cohort of students, subsequently admitting its first group of female students two years later in September 2006.

A pivotal juncture arrived in 2008 when the late King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, in acknowledgment of the institution’s unwavering dedication and meticulous planning, issued a royal decree elevating Al Yamamah College to the status of a university. This transformation was emblematic of their unflagging endeavors to establish a distinguished Saudi educational institution that delivers exceptional undergraduate and postgraduate education.

Strategically located on King Fahd Road to the north of Riyadh, Al Yamamah University’s expansive educational campus sprawls across a substantial area of over 160,000 square meters. These facilities stand as a testament to adherence to the latest global standards for educational institutions.
