About KFUPM
KFUPM is a leading educational organization for
science and technology. Since that time, the University enrollment has grown to more than 10000 students.
"This institute was a dream to us a few years ago, for we used to
look around us and find ourselves frozen in our position and
bewildered, neither able to emulate nor to compete with other
nations in their progress and their movement forward. Allah,
however, has eased the path and erased the obstacles which blocked
our way. It is not of importance that we build institutes and
celebrate their inauguration. The important thing is that we exert
all our efforts to benefit from such institutes, to realize what
our nation expects from us...."
