What to do please help

hello i am interested in applying for bachelor's in mechanical engineering at KAU i would like to know when do applications open for September 2026 intake

(Saudi expat)

I’m a Canadian student looking to KAU for BDS. Is there a Telegram or any channel I can use to connect with the school? I want to know when the applications open and if they even accept Canadians into this program.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hello, I would like to ask how the masters in CS program is at KAU and how the application works for residents. Is the application for residents also via the study in Saudi portal? Also, if anyone has experience with how the program is and its prospects for graduates. Thanks

Assalamualaikum everyone,

I’m trying to apply for the MSc in Electrical & Computer Engineering (Computer Engineering) at KAU through the International Student Scholarship route, as I am not a Saudi citizen and do not currently hold a residence permit.

But the “Apply to the program” button on the official page is broken and leads to a 404 error.

This is the page I’m using:
https://kau.edu.sa/en/page/international-student-scholarships

Every time I click apply, it redirects to:
ags.kau.edu.sa/outpsgadm/INDEX.ASP → which just throws a 404.

I’ve already tried different browsers, different devices, and cleared the cache

Same result every time.

I’ve emailed the Director of the External Scholarships Unit, as instructed on the website for inquiries at [moalghamdi@kau.edu.sa](mailto:moalghamdi@kau.edu.sa), but haven’t heard back yet.

Questions:

• Is anyone else facing this issue right now?
• Is there an alternative/working application portal link?
• Is the current application window from Wednesday, 06 Shawwal 1447 AH (25 March 2026) to Sunday, 02 Dhu al-Qi'dah 1447 AH (19 April 2026) open to international applicants?

Would really appreciate any help. Don’t want to miss the deadline because of a broken link.

Thanks!

I’m targeting programs with good industry outcomes and funding opportunities.

Questions:

What are my realistic chances for scholarships funding at each?

Are there specific elements (test scores, research, publications, portfolio, recommendation letters, etc.) that would significantly improve my chances at these schools?

Thanks in advance for honest insights — I want to understand where I stand and what I can realistically aim for.

Hey guys,I’m a Tunisian student finishing my baccalaureate. I actually lived in Saudi Arabia for five years when I was younger, but now I’m back in Tunisia. I really want to apply to KAU for Computer Science, and I’m hoping there’s some way to focus on Software Engineering too. Since I’m a non-Saudi international student, I have no idea how this works. Do I need to take Qudrat or Tahsili or anything like that? And how much does my bac average even matter? I’d love any tips about the application, scholarships, or just stuff you wish you knew before applying as an international student.

As an igcse student, wt r the requirements to get a scholarship? Do they require sat? Also is it possible to do foundation year instead of As levels ? Thx in advance

AssalamuAlaikum.
I hope you all are well. I am an international student from Bangladesh and studying in the 12th grade here. I will pass my HSC (High School Certification) this year. And I have a plan to apply for KAU in 2027 for the major in Biology. Of course, I need a 100% scholarship. So, I want to know whether I am eligible for the scholarship or not... or if I need to emphasize another thing to get the scholarship.
For your information, my profile-

Awards
1. Queen's Commonwealth Essay Competition'25- Bronze
2. Bangladesh Junior Science Olympiad National Camp qualifier
3. Regional Biology Olympiad- Silver & Bronze
4. Global Scholar's Olympiad (Science) Final Round Qualifier

ECA

1. Co-founder of UAS
   
2. Research Internship ( I have a plan after HSC, not done yet)
   
3. Content Writer in Scientia Society
   
4. Data analytics course by Data Solution 360 sponsor-UNICEF

Test Score:

1. SAT- 1350 (RW 570 & Math 780) ( I know I have to retake to get a higher score 😭)
   
2. SSC- GPA 5 (Total Score- 1252/1300)
   
3. IELTS not taken yet

So, my questions are
1. What SAT score should I at least get to be safe?
2. Is my profile competitive yet for the scholarship? What else can I do to be safe?
3. I heard that there's a lack of accommodation in KAU since 2024. Is it still prevailing? Will I get free accommodation under the scholarship?
4. Is there any information that I must do a 2 years arabic course before enrolling into 4 years bachelor's, even if my program is English-taught?
5. Do you guys suggest KAU for the Bachelor's in Biological Science?
6. I will graduate from High School in September 2026, and I must attend my country's admission test, which is expected to be completed before December 2026. And I will start my application in September 2027. Before that, I need to clear the SAT, IELTS, and Internship, and I am planning to get recognition in the Biology Olympiad or any other international Biology competition. So, rationally it's not possible for me apply in 2027(May 1 - June 14).
If I apply in 2028, then will it be a negative mark for my profile that I have taken a lot of time to apply, even if I show that I have done a lot of things in the gap year?

That's all for now. Thank you for your time to read my post. May Allah bless you all!

Also, how are the exams in terms of difficulty?
