Faculty of Environmental Sciences Faculty of Marine Sciences
Faculty of Earth Sciences Faculty of Architecture and Planning
Faculty of Maritime Studies

These Faculties provide Undergraduate (Bachelor) and postgraduate (masters and Doctoral) degrees related to the field of climate and environmental studies. These include:

Bs. / Ms. / PhD in Arid Agriculture Bs. / Ms. / PhD in Environmental Sciences
Bs. / Ms. / PhD in Metrology Bs. / Ms. / PhD in Hydrogeology and Water Resources Management
Bs. / Ms. / PhD in Hydrogeology Bs. / Ms. in Engineering Geology and Environment

Furthermore, all the courses that lead to earning such degrees are available to every KAU student to enroll in them as elective courses leading to other degrees. In addition, there are several other courses that are available at KAU related to sustainability and environmental studies which leads to other degrees including Sciences, Marine Sciences, Geography, Engineering Geology and Environment, Urban Planning …etc.
