Graduate studies at Al-Ahgaff University began on 17 October 1998, with the enrollment of seven students in a Master's program in Arabic Language. In the following years, the Faculty witnessed significant development with the establishment of the Departments of Sharia and Education, followed by the Department of Law, and later the departments of Management, Accounting, and Computer Science.

The Faculty of Graduate Studies oversees the implementation of the University's policies and regulations concerning graduate studies. It also carries out a wide range of activities through its academic committees and administrative units.

These activities include reviewing and developing regulations and procedures related to admission applications for accredited programs, student registration, the administration of examinations, and the preparation and announcement of academic results.
