The aim of this study is to identify the attitudes of Saudi Universities’ students towards peace culture. The descriptive surveying approach was used on a sample of 1643 students. The frequency, percentages, arithmetic mean, Kay-box test, and T-test were used in the analysis. The results showed that Saudi students have a positive attitude towards (human rights, disarmament, conflict resolution skills, peace culture) while their attitudes were negative towards transferring bomb-making experience to Islamic countries. Also, females had more positive attitudes towards disarmament than male students.
