KAUST King Abdullah University of Science and Technology

When first I arrived here, I thought I would feel completely alone because I didn't know anything. I couldn't have been more wrong. This time has been so special for me. I am enjoying each day in the lab and having fun with my friends at the same time. I am learning a new language (some words) hahaha, trying new food, visiting new places and meeting new people. Thanks for the opportunity and the effort you are making to give us one of the best experiences in our lives. All my friends know about KAUST now.

Regarding research experience, KAUST have top laboratories and facilities to which every student has access. There is a large amount of equipment that you can be trained to use on your own. And you don't have to worry about anything else because is already covered: housing, transportation, and allowance. On the other hand, as a VSRP student, you can participate in a lot of activities and trips covered by the institution, and get to know more about Saudi Arabia. Also, everything you could need is inside the campus

Kaust has been one of the best experiences in my life, I had the opportunity to meet amazing people and do passionate research with the best professor at the best facilities.

Everything was very organized and Il felt completely save. They assigned me great roomies in a comfortable house.

One of the most important things was that Saudi Arabia received me with the highest respect for my culture.

This is an experience worth living, I felt at home.
The stipend they give is more than enough to live comfortably

KAUST's internship program is absolutely incredible! It really is a university that cares about its students' education and well-being. The accommodation provided is wonderful, as is the infrastructure of the campus and laboratories. Saudi Arabia is a very beautiful and welcoming country. Campus security is extremely well organized. The medical insurance meets all the criteria.
I am enjoying my experience here much more than I imagined and I certainly plan to come back and recommend it to everyone!

An incredible opportunity to join a world-class research lab at KAUST and explore Saudi Arabia! The VSRP program offers amazing facilities, nice lab mentors, inspiring mentorship, and a cool-vibrant international community. I really highly recommend it to anyone seeking hands-on research experience, networking with people from around the globe, and participating in exciting cultural and outdoor activities in a stunning Red Sea setting. A truly unforgettable experience for all ages and backgrounds!
