The University of Tabuk (UT) was established in 1427 H (2006 G) to fulfill the dream of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to provide equal access to education to every part of the Kingdom. UT amalgamated the old Tabuk Teachers' College that had served as Tabuk region's primary source for elementary, intermediate, and secondary school teachers.
Today, UT is located on a sprawling 12 million square meters campus, in the under-constructionUniversity City, Tabuk, which will soon become the home to state-of- the-art facilities that include a world-class secondary and tertiary care hospital. All Faculties, Colleges, and Departments currently occupy temporary facilities at University City and throughout Tabuk region, below,while University City is being completed.
Currently, there are about 20,000 male and female undergraduate students enrolled in 7 Faculties, 1 Community College, and 4 outlying Colleges and Branches. Due to the cultural requirement in Saudi Arabia that sexes be segregated, facilities at UT are bifurcated and female students receive their education at parallel campuses scattered throughout Tabuk region. All male Colleges, Faculties, and Departments are located in University City, on UT's main campus.
