KFUPM lays a high emphasis on forging deeper contacts with the general public and key stakeholders, which not only boosts the general perception of the university but also enriches mutually beneficial relationships in the society.

The American higher education system is used as the primary model for the academic freedom policy- with local adjustments as deemed necessary. The requirement that all technical topics be taught in the English language is the most extensive of all policies. It guarantees the relevance of technical material as well as the capability for graduates to communicate with managerial, technical, and scientific leadership of significant industries both on national and international level.
