Message from the Department Chair
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Architectural Engineering at Najran University.
Since its establishment in 1433 AH, the Department of Architectural Engineering has been committed to advancing architectural education and responding to the needs of the construction and built environment sector in the Kingdom. Over the years, it has played a vital role in preparing qualified graduates equipped with both technical competence and design thinking aligned with national development goals.
In alignment with these directions and in response to the evolving demands of the construction and built environment sector, the Department has recently undertaken a significant academic advancement through the introduction of two specialized academic programs: the Bachelor of Architecture and the Bachelor of Interior Design, both launched in 2023. These programs have been carefully developed to reflect contemporary professional expectations, align with international accreditation frameworks, and support the Kingdom’s aspirations for innovation, sustainability, and the advancement of the construction and built environment sector.
The Architecture Program offers a comprehensive and rigorous education that integrates architectural design, history and theory, environmental systems, digital technologies, and professional practice. It prepares graduates to critically engage with cultural, social, and environmental challenges while contributing to the development of sustainable and resilient built environments.
The Interior Design Program provides students with a strong foundation in spatial design, materials, lighting, furnishings, digital modeling, and user-centered environments. It reflects global best practices and responds to the growing demand for qualified interior designers capable of enhancing the functionality, quality, and aesthetic value of interior spaces.
Both programs reflect Najran University’s commitment to excellence in teaching, research, and community engagement. They have been designed in alignment with the standards of the Saudi National Center for Academic Accreditation and Evaluation (NCAAA) and are informed by leading international accreditation bodies such as NAAB and CIDA.
We hope that the Department’s website provides clear and comprehensive information about our programs and the academic environment we strive to foster. We look forward to welcoming you to our campus and supporting your academic and professional journey
