After obtaining his bachelor's degree from Zainab Al-Nafzweyya High School in Tangiers, he studied at the English Language Department at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities in Tétouan. As soon as he obtained his bachelor's degree, Khalid Amin traveled to England to obtain a master’s degree from the University of Essex. He said about that experience and its cognitive and personal horizons, "Since I set foot in the University of Essex in Britain in 1990 with to complete my postgraduate studies, I was asked by Roger Howard, the head of the theater department at that prestigious university, "What about Moroccan theater?", then I realized that it was my duty to work on the self within the limits of its relationship with the other. The beginning  was from Shakespeare in the Moroccan theater, accompanied by my professors, Dr. Hasan Al-Munai’i and Muhammad Al-Amiri”. As soon as he obtained his master's degree from the University of Essex in modern literature – specializing in theater, he returned to Morocco and worked as a professor of higher education since 1993. Khalid Amin was keen to study the arts of Moroccan and Arab Performance and to introduce it to the whole world, based on the idea that a Performance is a human practice and is not confined to a specific culture. In 2000, he discussed his doctoral thesis in comparative literature in which he studied "Shakespeare in Moroccan Theater" under the joint supervision of England and Morocco.
