asalam u alikum,

Xpc fellows......
Can any body give me info about the best uni to take addmission in ksa for foreigners:)
Well there r a couple of vry gud unis in SA....there KAUST in jeddah, KSU in riyadh md thn perhaps the best of all of them KFUPM in dammam.....but the admission criteria fr unis is vry high fr foreigners...most of thm dnt accept SAT scores....nd hav vry strict conditions fr admission
Fr example in kfupm u need a percentage of above 95% in their entry tests to get direct admission.....furthermore nit all unis here accept female enrollment
U can try fr DCC ir University of dammam whch hav mild criterias but are not vry high in over all ranking.

I don't know about all the unis in the kingdom but I 'll share what I know
Here is what I know so far

The Dammam University is for girls. It has mainly two sections
College of science – Business studies and Computer science
College of engineering- Biotechnology ,interior designing…etc..

Medical is Not an option for foreigners.

The requirements are 8 O levels OR complete school till grade twelve.

There are entrance examination in Feb and April ( I Think) and in No vember and December……you must pass those if you have a very high percentage then you are allowed to choose engineering. In addition to this the Uni management themselves at times give the final decision of what field you can join( again this Is for foreigners)
But If you have someone who works in this uni ….that’s another case!


KFUPM is NOT for girls…..and yes as Wkhan860 mentioned you need quiet a high percentage for it OR have someone who works there……
PMU is another one but I have heard it’s not that good ….it is a private university.

That's the point wat i was talking about you don't need a great qualification to get in KSA unis u need source more than grades peoples gettin B's nd C's study in KFUPM just cuz they have source.That's y basically Unis in KSA's r low judged.

Anthr point tht i hv heard is tht its rele hard to survive in these arab unis...where thy hav ths arabic atmosphere nd thy dnt rele support foreigners.....btw all these restrictions r just fr undergraduates
Its much easy to get admission fr masters or any higher qualification in these unis.

I can give you the exact same link you just gave me.LOL.
[I asked for links because that site ( I had checked it before) t did NOT help me and translation is horrible!]

I got to know from a friend.High percentage for the entrance exam that they give ...YES!( if you wish to go to the engineering side But in the end at times Uni itself tells what field you can join)
