How to Find Faculties and Academic Programs on the King Abdulaziz University Website (kau.edu.sa)

The King Abdulaziz University website (kau.edu.sa) lists its faculties in an "Our Faculties" section on the homepage, and each faculty page is the route to that faculty's academic departments and programs. Start at the homepage, open "Our Faculties," then follow the faculty that matches your subject area to see what it offers. This works for prospective students comparing fields, current students checking department details, and anyone verifying whether a specific program exists.

What the homepage gives you

The homepage is organized around a few clear blocks: "Our Faculties," "News," "Upcoming Events," and "Announcements." For the task of finding faculties and programs, "Our Faculties" is the entry point — it is the site's own index of its faculties, so you don't need to guess URLs or search the whole site.

The other blocks are useful context rather than program information: news and announcements may mention new programs or admissions updates, and events can indicate which faculties are active in a given area. Treat them as secondary checks, not the primary list.

Step by step

1. Open the homepage. Go to kau.edu.sa. The page presents the university's main navigation, including the "Our Faculties" section.
2. Go to "Our Faculties." This section lists the university's faculties. Scan the list for the subject area you care about (for example, engineering, medicine, science, or business).
3. Open a faculty page. Select the faculty you're interested in. The faculty page is where that faculty's structure — its departments and academic offerings — is described.
4. Identify departments. Within the faculty page, look for the department or academic unit listings. Departments are the level at which specific programs usually sit, so this narrows your search from "faculty" to "field."
5. Explore programs. Use the department or faculty pages to see the academic programs available. Note the program name and level (undergraduate or graduate) as stated on the page.

Expected result: you end with a shortlist of faculties relevant to your interest and the specific programs each one lists, all reached through the site's own navigation rather than third-party summaries.

How to verify you found the right thing

• The faculty name on the page matches the name in the "Our Faculties" list.
• The program you're considering is listed under a named department, not only mentioned in a news item.
• If a program appears only in an announcement, check the faculty page before assuming it is a standing offering.

Common sticking points

• Stopping at the faculty level. A faculty page may describe the faculty broadly without listing every program. If you don't see programs there, move down to the department level.
• Confusing news with catalog. Announcements about new or revised programs are not the same as the program listing; use them as leads, then confirm on the faculty or department page.
• Assuming language or access details. The site is presented in English, but individual faculty pages may differ in how much detail they provide. The available material does not state admission requirements, fees, or login restrictions for these pages, so don't infer them — confirm any such details through the faculty or the university's official channels.

Quick reference

If your goal is simply to confirm that a faculty or program exists, the homepage list plus one faculty page is usually enough. If you're comparing programs across faculties, repeat steps 2–5 for each faculty and keep the program names as written on the site so comparisons stay accurate.
