Thank you for visiting the website of the Finance Department at King Saud University, the oldest and most prestigious national university in Saudi Arabia. Since its establishment, the Finance Department has been striving to provide high quality education and research, contribute to knowledge in the field, and develop business quality & capacity of financial markets.
The Department is proud to have diverse and highly qualified faculty members, who hold PhD degrees from accredited universities in North America, Europe, Asia, & the Middle East. Although the Department is small and growing, it is truly an international department with faculty members of seven different nationalities; most of whom have international teaching and work experience. This excellent selection of faculty brings to classrooms rich experiences, different points of view, and diverse cultural backgrounds.
The Department’s new curriculum gives students the opportunity to take classes in different areas along the finance spectrum. After taking foundation courses in Finance and Corporate Finance, students can choose one of three tracks; investment, banking, or insurance. This is unique because we are the first and only public university in the Kingdom that grants a Bachelor's degree in such important specializations.
I thank you again for surfing our website and I hope that you will find it enjoyable and insightful.
