King Saud University, Riyadh
King Saud University Preparatory Year Building. The main university campus is behind this area - its huge, a small town in itself. The Preparatory Year Programme is a one-year course which aims to prepare students for their degree courses on the main campus. During the year they study English, Maths, ICT and Critical Thinking Skills. Many believe it reflects the new direction the country is taking: ‘Saudization’ - a move away from a reliance on oil, developing its private sector using Saudi nationals instead of expatriate workers.
One of the cafes inside. Spending a lot of time here at the moment.
The ‘Training Centre’ - a big empty space filled with workout machines. No one around to supervise, you just jump on. I’m also spending a lot of time here at the moment.
