About Us

“We are an outstanding university where curious minds are challenged, supported and inspired to make a difference.”

For more than fifty years Jamiat Al Riyada has combined world-class teaching with a friendly, close-knit campus. Our students learn from leading researchers in small classes, take part in more than 50 student clubs and graduate ready for successful careers.

Who We Are

A few words about Jamiat Al Riyada

Founded in 1970, we have grown from a small teachers' college into a university with seven campuses and more than 10,000 students.

Our teaching is practical and personal. Students work on real projects with businesses, hospitals and schools, and every student has a personal tutor from day one.

We welcome learners of every age and background, full-time or part-time, on campus or online.
