Faculty of Arts and Humanities

The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at King Abdulaziz University was established in 1389/1390 AH (1969/1970) following the recommendations of an advisory committee of experts who submitted their report to the university's founding body. The establishment of the faculty responded to a comprehensive study that emphasized the importance of creating such a faculty to address the Kingdom's need for qualified scientific talent and to support state institutions with national cadres capable of contributing to development plans across various fields. The faculty offers a variety of academic programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels, focusing on an interdisciplinary approach encompassing languages, literature, history, philosophy, and social sciences. Committed to advancing knowledge and research, the faculty also prioritizes preserving and celebrating cultural heritage. With its distinguished academic staff and advanced resources, the faculty strives to equip students with intellectual skills and ethical values, empowering them to make meaningful contributions to the development of both local and global communities
