Shaqra University

Its main campus is situated in Shaqra, while its colleges are distributed across a vast area of the Kingdom, covering several governorates and sub-governorates to the west of Riyadh.

Shaqra University was established on the 3rd of Ramadan 1430 (Gregorian date 24 August 2009), as per the decision of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, the Prime Minister and the Chairman of the Higher Education Council, Saudi Arabia.

The university currently has 20 colleges distributed in the governorates and sub-governorates, namely Shaqra, Al-Quwaiiyah, Al-Duwadimi, Sajir, Dhurma, Afif, Al-Muzahimiyah and Thadiq wa Mahmal.

While geographic distribution enhances the university's accessibility and impact, serving a wide array of communities throughout the region, it has also put a strain on resources.
