About Program

In its ongoing effort to foster global collaboration and provide its students with a rich, diverse learning environment, KFUPM is proud to welcome students from partner institutions around the world through our Incoming Student Exchange Program (ISEP). Established as a cornerstone of our internationalization strategy, the ISEP offers exchange students a unique opportunity to experience the academic rigor and vibrant campus life of KFUPM. Since its inception in 2008, the program has aimed to create a dynamic cultural exchange, enriching both our incoming students and our own academic community.

The program can be taken in either the Fall or Spring Semester, however Spring semester students also receive an internship opportunity with Aramco related to their academic discipline, an unparalleled opportunity to get one of the world’s leading energy companies on their CV.

Review

I've changed a lot since I started this program, especially in the way I approach exam preparation and work ethic. I've learned a number of learning strategies that have improved my comprehension and memorization of the subject matter. My entire school experience has been enhanced by my increased adaptability to various learning situations and cultural contexts. My perspective has become wider and my mind more receptive as a result of this exposure, which has improved my ability to interact with others and accept differing points of view. All in all, the program has given me useful abilities that I can use for my personal development in addition to my academic work.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I was not used to public speaking, so having to present in front of the class three times for final projects was a big challenge for me. I concentrated on being well-prepared in order to get over my anxieties. I often rehearsed my speeches in order to improve both the content and delivery. In order to increase my confidence, I also asked for and received criticism from peers and my instructor.
Pros
  • Different learning techniques.
  • Experiencing a different work and learning environment.
  • Meeting new people and having a great time!
Cons
  • Bus transportation.
  • Dorm water cutting off most of the time.
  • Being the only girl in my classes
