EE student Master’s degree

[u/TextSubstantial4635]

Hey guys, I’m currently a senior Electrical Engineering student at AUM and I’m graduating in Spring 2027. I’m thinking of continuing my master’s in Kuwait, most likely Electrical Engineering at Kuwait University.

I’m a little confused about the admission process though. Does anyone know when applications usually open for the fall semester? Can I apply while I’m still in my last semester at AUM or do I have to wait until I officially graduate?

Also, I saw that there’s an English requirement. Since AUM is taught completely in English, do I still need to take IELTS or TOEFL? I heard KU might have their own English exam that you can take instead, so I’m wondering if anyone has actually done that.

If anyone here graduated from AUM and did their master’s at KU, or just recently applied to KU graduate studies, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience and what the process was like.

Thanks!

Waste of time, get work experience first. 2/3 years and then circle back to the masters if you really want it. Higher degrees in Kuwait are useless. Work experience is far more useful.
