If industrial engineering does not suit you after year one, Al Yamamah University has 2 other colleges to transfer into internally.
How much does a industrial engineering degree cost at private universities?
| University | Full-time semester | Programme fee |
|---|---|---|
| Al Yamamah University | SR 37,0009 | not published |
| Alfaisal University | SR 47,0007 | not published |
The full-time semester at Alfaisal University is 27% above Al Yamamah University. The pricing basis for industrial engineering is not the same either. One university quotes a semester, another the credit hour. Compare like with like. Details in the private university fee comparison.
What mistakes should you avoid before applying for industrial engineering?
- Avoid judging by the name: the same field appears as "Industrial Engineering" and "Industrial and Systems Engineering", so read the study plan before you compare.
- Public industrial engineering seats at KAU, KFUPM and Taibah University go through admission in their region, so read the unified admission guide before ranking your choices.
- A industrial engineering hourly rate at one university and a semester fee at another do not compare; use the full-time semester above.
- If industrial engineering is your second choice, learn the university transfer rules now.
