Al Yamamah University (YU) was established in May 2001 as a single college by the Al-Khudair family. This marked their second significant contribution to education in Saudi Arabia, having pioneered establishing the first private schools in Riyadh in 1957. Authorized as an institution of higher learning by the Ministry of Higher Education, Al Yamamah College opened its doors to male students in September 2004 and to female students in September 2006. In 2008, the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, may Allah protect him, issued a royal decree approving the elevation of Al Yamamah College to university status, the culmination of eight years of planning and hard work to establish a distinctive, modern Saudi educational institution that provides both undergraduate and postgraduate education. Since its inception, the University has established itself at the forefront of the competition among private higher education institutions in the Kingdom using English as a medium for instruction. Al-Yamamah University is located north of Riyadh, on the Al-Qassim Highway, and occupies 160,000 square meters. The latest standards designed it for educational institutions. The men’s campus consists of the central academic building, the grand auditorium, the main library, the students’ lounge, a sports club, and a mosque. From its inception, Al-Yamamah University has been committed to providing female students with educational opportunities that prepare them for their vital role in the emerging Saudi labor market. The women’s campus is the fruit of that commitment, with a state-of-the-art campus featuring modern facilities – both academic and recreational – that are fully equivalent to those enjoyed on the men’s campus. Built at a total cost of 300 million Saudi Riyals (approximately US$ 80 million), the University’s ultra-modern campus provides state-of-the-art facilities and innovative instructional designs and curricula offered by faculty from around the world. Since its inception, Al Yamamah College (now Al Yamamah University) has realized the critical role that the English language plays in today’s world of business, knowledge, and technology and has taken a strategic decision to offer its English programs. With that in mind, YU started a long-term partnership with the US-based INTERLINK Language Centers to provide the English language preparation program for Al Yamamah students. Following the project-based, student-centered approach and with highly-qualified teaching staff, Saudi INTERLINK Language Centers (SILC) have been providing the Orientation English language program since 2004 to equip students with the English language and other academic skills they need to succeed in the academic context at YU and beyond. Al Yamamah University offers undergraduate and graduate programs in three colleges: the College of Business Administration (COBA) the College of Computer & Information Systems (CCIS) the College of Engineering and Architecture(CEA) Al Yamamah University provides academic instruction and professional training of the highest standard that imparts its students a life-long dedication to learning and self-development while enabling rising generations to shape a future marked by positive social and economic progress. Al Yamamah University aspires to be the foremost Saudi educational institution renowned for its adequate preparation of creative and entrepreneurial professionals who are consistently in high demand by leading public and private sector organizations.

Our students view their studies as a springboard to a rewarding career, not least because Munich is one of Germany's foremost centers for technology and the media.

This includes the Munich legacy of the Weisse Rose, the student-based resistance group that opposed Nazism. When you come to LMU, you join a community dedicated to making the most of their talents, curiosity, and opportunities. I am both honored and humbled to be part of this community.
