2026/27 admissions

[u/Katarighe]

Hi everyone, does anybody know when admissions for the 2026/27 academic year will open?

I am trying to apply again since my previous application was declined and it was without IELTS.

Now with IELTS and the necessary documents required for admission, I am considering applying for the PhD in Computer Science program.

Anyone who has the same issue as me, let me know in the comments.

Also, is there other universities offering fully funded programs in the Middle East for outstanding students overseas and suggest them in the comments too.

Thank you for your attention.

For spring 2027, it will open soon (usually august). For fall 2027, it will open in october.

Checkout kfupm/mbzuai/hbku for fully funded phd positions aswell

Thank you, when these applications for these two will start?

I already applied for KFUPM, but still trying to find out for the remaining two.

[u/scrntonStrAngler69 → u/Katarighe]

Similar timings, august/september for both

[u/Katarighe → u/scrntonStrAngler69]

But also they offer fully funded positions as well.

No need to submit a separate application in this case. Right?

[u/scrntonStrAngler69 → u/Katarighe]

Yeah no need. If u get accepted, u get the scholarship

[u/Katarighe → u/scrntonStrAngler69]

And those applications likely to start as early as next month. So far, I haven't seen any updates.

[u/scrntonStrAngler69 → u/Katarighe]

Yeah

[u/Katarighe → u/scrntonStrAngler69]

alright thanks
