Re: King AbdulAziz University scholarship

I am surprised the required TOEFL and IELTS scores are that low.

KAUST and KAU are different universities. KAUST is King Abdullah University which is located some 70 Km north of Jeddah.

KAU is King AbdulAziz University located in Jeddah.

Yes, since Saudi Arabia is not an English Speaking country.

What is the language of instruction used in the KAU? Arabic or english?

For example: I know many universities in non english speaking countries where english is used as language of instruction, especially in advanced degrees programs.
 
Re: King AbdulAziz University scholarship

Anyway, this is very valuable information Jazakallah khayr, I will pass this info on to people I know who might be interested in applying.
 
Re: King AbdulAziz University scholarship

Yes, medium of instruction is English for graduate courses.

Oops, apologize for the confusion. Are you located in Saudi?

Ramadhan, I think they want to increase access to higher education and high toefl scores would be a hindrance since most students are not good in English. And to be honest with you, scoring low on TOEFL does not mean your English is poor. I got very high score on TOEFL but my English writing skills were really poor.
 
The first post is updated for those who are interested. Admissions are currently closed and they will re-open in November :ia:.


For those who want to study Arabic and get a 2-year diploma in Arabic Language, they can apply from this link: https://dcafl.kau.edu.sa/


This full scholarship is available to international students, based on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s relation with their countries. The DCAFL by the Arabic Language Institute at King Abdulaziz University is a two-year full time study program consisting of 60-credit hours. The program is designed to develop the students’ linguistic competence in Arabic in all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. It also focuses on using Arabic in real life situations. The program mainly employs Al-Arabiyatu Bayna Yadayk series “Arabic between your hands,” published by “Arabic for All,” a non-profit organization. Upon completion of the program requirements, students receive a Diploma Certificate in Arabic as a Foreign Language (DCAFL) and OUTSTANDING students have the opportunity to UPGRADE their scholarship and continue their Bachelor studies in any undergraduate program accept those offered in the following faculties: Medicine, Dentistry, Applied Medical Sciences, and Pharmacy.
