| Description | On Tuesday, 09/01/1419 AH (06/05/1998 AD), the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud – then the Crown Prince (may God have mercy upon him) – ordered the merger of Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University and King Saud University in the Southern Region. This union led to the formation of a new entity named 'King Khalid University'. To solidify this merger, a Royal Decree, number M/78/7, was issued on 11/3/1419 AH (6/7/1998 AD) which mandated the completion of all necessary regulatory procedures. Following this, the university's inaugural budget was released on 14/09/1419 AH (02/01/1999 AD), integrating with the broader state budget and establishing King Khalid University as a distinguished institution within the academic landscape of Saudi universities. The university is located in the Asir region in the southwestern part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Asir region covers an area of about 80,000 square kilometers and is home to more than 1.6 million inhabitants, spread across seventy-eight governorates and centers. King Khalid University operates under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, similar to other Saudi universities. King Khalid University strives for a leading role with regional roots, international dimensions, knowledge and research excellence and effective community contribution through qualitative competence. King Khalid University commits to providing relevant academic environments for high-quality education, conducting innovative scientific research, providing constructive community services, and maximizing the employment of knowledge techniques. |
