Majmaah University, established in 2009, is located in southern Al Majma’ah, a city in Saudi Arabia. It was founded at the same time as three other Saudi Arabian universities situated in Dammam city, Kharj province and Shaqr’a province respectively.
The university has campuses in a number of areas including Ghat, Hawat Sudair, Majmmah, Remah, and Zulfi. As a multi-campus university, Majmaah seeks to expand higher education provision across the country. It is committed to meeting the increasing number of high school graduates in the region, in an endeavour to take the pressure off universities in larger cities.
The main campus is comprised of 20 buildings that are home to the university’s administration, colleges, deanships, medical services, and academic units.
There are currently 13 colleges at the university, which include dentistry, education, engineering, medicine, and science. Within each college are numerous departments that students can choose to focus their studies in.
With a mission to serve the local community, the university has established its own hospital. This highly equipped hospital provides first-class healthcare to the society while offering medical students hands on training to enrich their classroom studies. The university seeks to raise health awareness in the Saudi community, on top of its academic work.
Saudi Arabia, located in the Middle East, is known for its abundance of oil fields, which have greatly contributed to the country’s wealth. With a long and rich history, the country has recently become more and more urbanised as its cities adapt to the developments of the modern world.
