Al Yamamah University is a university based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education. It was founded by Khalid bin Mohammed Al-Khudair from Al-Khudair Family, who in 1957 established Al-Tarbiyah Al-Namouthajiyah Schools, the first private schools in Riyadh

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.

The university’s foresight regarding the paramount significance of the English language in domains such as business, knowledge, and technology has been apparent from its inception. The decision to conduct its programs in English was motivated by the aspiration to nurture a generation of graduates proficient in navigating the global business landscape with acumen and ingenuity. To actualize this vision, Al Yamamah University forged a long-standing partnership with INTERLINK International Institutes based in the United States. Renowned for its project-based, learner-centered curriculum, INTERLINK International Institutes equip students with the essential English language and academic proficiencies imperative for success in their undergraduate studies and prospective careers.
