Hafr Al-Batin University was established by Royal Decree No. (20937) dated 06/02/1435 AH to integrate with the rest of the Saudi universities in serving the educational process and to be a tributary and resource for translating the ambitious development plans in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Hafr Al-Batin University was launched with an academic legacy from two distinguished schools: the University of Dammam through the Colleges of Education for Girls in each of: Hafr Al-Batin, Al-Nuairyah, Al-Qarya Al-Ulya, and Al-Khafji, which were all under its umbrella, and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals through the Community College and the university colleges for boys under the umbrella of the mother university in Dhahran, which continued from its inception until the date of the announcement of the university

We realize that a successful university, in its institutional concept, is one that has a clear vision and a purposeful, clearly defined message from which it derives its strategic plan and builds its future path and approach. This success comes as a natural result of good planning, good implementation, and good follow-up.

Therefore, in order to form a new generation capable of working, dealing and building a knowledge economy led by innovation and modernization that leads to the renaissance of the nation, we at Hafr Al-Batin University were keen to crystallize these visions on the ground, setting out to achieve our goal through: working in the spirit of one team within the university or when interacting between the university and the community, responding constructively to the requirements of the labor market by emphasizing the strength and quality of academic programs, and the good development of the individual through them, and preparing him for a changing world that requires positive interaction with its data, adopting and adopting

knowledge as a fundamental axis of the educational process, which includes basic concepts such as acquiring, producing, and transferring knowledge, in addition to enhancing the culture of innovation and creativity, igniting the spirit of interaction with society in all its spectrums, institutions and individuals, in order to achieve the goals of comprehensive development, establishing solid foundations for academic and professional cooperation with a group of prestigious and leading universities around the world, which will certainly benefit the university’s male and female students.
