About:
The Department of History was established in 19571958 and went through various stages in accordance
with the university statutes. Attendance was waived at
the early stages. However, when the credit-hour system
was adopted in 1394-1395H, part-time studies were
introduced. Female full-time students were admitted
at Elisha University Center. Initially, the Archaeology
section formed part of the Department of History and
Archaeology, but in 1395H it became an autonomous
department. One of the main aims of the Department’s
curriculum is to achieve the time-place equilibrium of

About:
96
Historically speaking, the establishment of the
Department of Arabic Language has been in full
concurrence with the establishment of King Saud
University in 1377 H. One of the major targets behind
establishing this department was to help preserve the
Arabic language (and its traditions) being the language
of the Holy Quran. Like all other departments, the
Department of Arabic language has developed over
the years and broadened the scope of its offerings to
include the teaching of Arabic Syntax, Morphology,
Rhetoric, Criticism, and Literature. For some period
of time, the Department of Arabic Language was
also offering the teaching of Islamic languages
as well as the Semitic ones like Turkish, Persian,
and Hebrew; but the teaching of such languages
is currently offered by the College of Languages
and Translation which was established a little later.

King Saud University Bulletin
Vision:
We aspire to be the preeminent finance department
in the Arab world and one of the best 300 finance
departments in the world.
Mission:
The mission of the Finance department at King Saud
University is to:
Ž Prepare high quality workforce that meet the
standards demanded by the industry.
Ž Provide flexible and high quality learning
environment for students.
Ž Enhance students’ abilities to discover and
develop new ideas in finance

About:
The economy of Saudi Arabia along with its financial
markets has experienced a tremendous growth since
the beginning of the twenty first century. This growth
in size needed a matched growth in specialized human
resources and new ideas and researches in finance. The
department of finance at King Saud University (KSU)
was founded in late 2006 to meet such demands and
challenges. The establishment of the department was
a result of a restructuring of the College of Business
Administration. The department, however, has its own
roots in the old college since 1993. Back then, Finance
was a track in the Department of Business Administration.

the second language of many countries and over 100
million people use it as a foreign language. The English
language has gained considerable significance in KSA
because of its need in various areas such as the political,
the economical, the commercial and the educational. It
is also needed by those working as representatives of
the worlds of diplomacy, trade or media owing to the
publication of several newspapers in English in Saudi
Arabia. It is also the required language in petroleum,
petrochemical and industrial companies as well as others in the fields of industry, commerce and finance. It
also plays a vital role in the spreading of Islam, its culture and civilization through the translation of Islamic
books and publications. In addition, there are many
Muslim people whose countries use English as either
their official language or a second language.

Hebrew is one of the Semitic languages, the family of languages to which Arabic belongs. Hebrew was
dead and it has been revived after the occupation of
Palestine in 1948. It has a cultural heritage that was
influenced by the Islamic Arabian heritage. There are
also common linguistic features between Hebrew and
Arabic. Moreover, there are plenty of words that are
similar in pronunciation and meaning, which help learning it easily. Today, the importance of studying Hebrew
comes from our need to know the contemporary Israeli
thinking, and the writings that are aimed basically at the
conflict matter with Arab and Islamic nation and their
political, military, and security effects.

people speak it. Japanese is important because of the
role Japan plays as a strong economic power and one
of the seven industrial great powers in the world. Japan

speak Japanese to work in trading, industrial companies,
Japanese franchises, and especially in cars’ companies
and their marketing. In addition, nowadays it is an
important thing to know Japan’s distinctive culture.
4th Program: Persian
About:
Persian is one of the important Islamic languages
spoken by almost 155 million people; 55 million in Iran,
and others in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, etc. Persian uses the Arabic alphabet which makes it easy for
Arabs to study this language. Persian has special importance to Islamic countries in general and to the countries
of the Gulf Cooperation Council in particular. As for
the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this importance increases
due to the fact that large numbers of Iranian pilgrims
head up to the Kingdom every year. Persian language
is the language of an ancient deep-rooted culture that
has been used to document works of the most precious
international repertoires in the Islamic era.
