KAU campus
The suburban campus of KAU combines features of an urban and rural campus. It is located outside the big city, which allows you to focus on your studies. However, it is also not too far, opening up access to more types of recreation, both outdoors and in the city (theaters, museums, restaurants). The university has a functioning library. In addition to educational materials in various scientific areas, it contains a collection of classical and contemporary literature. KAU regularly accepts students for international exchange programs, providing both local and international students with the opportunity to come into contact with different cultures and gain unique experience.
If you want to stay in Saudi Arabia after graduation, one of your options is to apply for a work visa. To do this, you need to get an offer from an employer. KAU graduates find jobs quickly, partly because the university has a good reputation among employers according to the QS World University Rankings.
