Northern Border University

Northern Border University

The Northern Borders Region is located in the northeast of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The region gained its importance from The Trans-Arabian Pipeline (Tapline), which dated back to the late 1940s and was implemented by Saudi Aramco in partnership with major international oil companies like "Chevron" and "Texaco." Under that partnership, the Tapline Company was established. It constructed the Tapline, extending from the Arabian Gulf to the Lebanese Sidon Port on the Mediterranean coast. The construction of the Tapline, with a length of 1,664 km, required the presence of oil pumping stations along this line.

About the University

Being the only university in the Northern Borders Region, Northern Border University enjoys a unique position in higher education in Saudi Arabia, which is why it holds the name of this precious region. The university plans are inspired by the region's rich values, culture, history, and location. It also ensures that its Strategic Plan 2020-2025 goes along with the region's rich natural resources, Vision 2030, and with the New University System, guided by the strategic priorities of the Northern Borders Region's Emirate.
