Description

KAUST applications for autumn 2027 opened on 28 September 2026. The Round 2 deadline is 3 January 2027. Applicants should distinguish admissions timelines from scholarship conditions. No particular stipend or universal funding package is promised on the basis of the calendar alone. Check that the intended degree route matches your prior qualification and follow its specific admissions instructions. The Round 2 date concerns the application calendar for autumn entry. Financial planning requires the separate scholarship conditions, since the timetable page alone does not establish a support package. Eligibility: International bachelor’s or master’s graduates applying for MS, MS/PhD or PhD study. Funding: Check scholarship arrangements on the admissions portal; the calendar alone does not establish amounts. Application: Choose the MS, MS/PhD or PhD route and follow its admission requirements. Check scholarship conditions separately on the portal; the timetable does not guarantee a funding amount. Schedule: 3 January 2027, Round 2
