Kingdom University obtained its license in 2001, though it started student intake only in 2004 on a temporary campus that was located in Manama. In July 2013, the university moved to its new permanent campus in Riffa (Al-Hajiyat), Bahrain. The new campus provides a fresh and promising learning environment and study facilities. In 2016, the university embarked on a significant expansion which includes the development of a new six-story academic building and an extension of car parks.
