I'm a 2026 grad planning to do my Master's in 2027. I've been looking into affordable options abroad and recently came across KFUPM, specifically their MSc in Cyber Security and MSc in AI programs.

Wanted to hear from people who know about KFUPM / have studied there:

How different are these programs compared to Indian unis?

Is the degree recognised globally and in India?

What are the career options after graduating? Is it possible to get jobs in Saudi or elsewhere?

I have an 8+ CGPA, but not much research experience. Do I still have a decent shot at getting a scholarship?

If not, what can I do over the next year to improve my profile?

Would really appreciate any advice or experiences from current students/alumni!

شكرا مقدما جزاكم الله خيرا

Hey guys, how hard/different would the 1st year for CS Majors be for A Level CS students? I am choosing between US universities and KFUPM and I want some more perspective on the transition between HS and Uni. Thanks in advance

Has Anyone shifted from Life Science Master’s to PhD in Bioengineering (Same Department) after completing Master’s Degree? Is it possible?

How is kfupm life for int'l female students, as far as I think of, there are less int'l female students and how's the interaction with saudi females?

King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM)
Does anyone have any idea when the results will be announced for MS spring semester (262) applications, specifically for MS Aerospace Engineering, any kind of timeline expected?
also are the interviews usually conducted for masters application?

Im a new international students at KFUPM. I recently got my Iqama a couple days ago but when I tried registering my Absher account my number was already registered to another one. I tried phoning customer service and stuff, at the end i gave up and decided to spend more money on a new phone number. Even worse, this new number is also recycled and is linked to another absher account (but my contract is taken out on my own iqama). I cant register my Iqama on absher at all, it just says the number is linked to another id, if i press "accept" it'll change but when i do the registration gives up and never completes. Idk what to do, where to go... nobody is able to give me any useful advice other than "try and make it work" or "just get another number again". I kinda need this done to get my stipend and like, live here so this has really sucked. Please if anyone can help me out with what to do, if really appreciate it.

Jazakallah Khair

Guys im so lost. I’m a high school student thats studying physics this term, and I kid you not, the lostest i’ve ever been is here.

I’ve tried speaking to people here to ask around and stuff and I feel like everyone already has everything figured out and are in like mini-groups, if you will.

Any stuff I should know about?
apps or websites I should use?

Oh and how to make friends here instead of feel an immense feeling of doom? 😅

Thanks chat!

Are skates allowed on campus? 🫪

I don’t even know why I’m asking, I barely skate but that came out of a discussion with a friend.

Hello guys, I'm a cs graduate from India aiming for masters in cs for the 2027 intake . Anyone who's in the same boat or who has gone through this please hmu. I'd love to connect with you. Also please drop some tips on how to improve my chances of getting admitted .

How hard is the Math test for international student applications? Does anyone know where to prepare from? I keep hearing that if you get anything less than 15/15 you will be rejected, is this true? How hard is it to get 15/15 ?

Hi everyone, for those who recently interviewed for the Spring 2027 intake for PhD, when can we expect to hear back about the interview result or final admission decision?
Would appreciate any insight from previous applicants. Thanks!

People who passed the entrance exam when was the payment deadline and when did they contact you for the visa and coming to Saudi procedures

the thing is I have low high school grades, would these grades affect my admission in any way even if I get 1590 or 1600 score? just confirm this doubt..... international SAT route NON resident non saudi

Assalamu alaikum everyone!
I was initially accepted into al Jouf University for an Engineering program and thats great alhamdulillah i’d love to meet saudis and learn about your culture

My concern however alongside 30\~ ish other students i know that got initially accepted is that the final acceptance has not arrived and its worrying some students if they might be deferred to the second semester, If anyone is studying there i’d appreciate it if you shared some insight on this matter, Thank you!

On the university website it reads "SAT scores must be directly sent to King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals from the SAT Test Center."

How do i send my sat score directly from the test centre?

Is it possible to send scores as they will be uploaded on the test taker's profile in about 2 weeks from the date of taking the test?

I am a student who's currently in 12th grade, and it has always been a dream to study abroad, especially KFUPM, and I am an Indian, who is studying in India for 12th. HOW DO I apply for admission and what're the criteria. What're the chances of me even getting scholarship? And what about the marksheet criteria and stuff like that?

​Hey everyone, I'm a non-Saudi resident looking to apply to KFUPM and hopefully skip the prep year. I was wondering which English test is usually easier to clear for the waiver, IELTS or TOEFL? Also, is it true that STEP isn't accepted to skip prep year for non-Saudis? Lastly, I'm pretty stressed about the Math 001 exam—how realistic or difficult is it to get a 15/15 on that? Any tips or advice would be huge, thanks!
