In the autumn of 20 17, King University of Science and Technology of Saudi Arabia enrolled 250 students (China did not exceed 10%), with more than 8,000 applicants. This is official data. As for applying for schools, each school has a minimum English score requirement. KAUST requires 6.0, which is only the minimum standard. Does not mean that this achievement is enough.

In addition, the requirements of English scores of all majors are incomprehensible, which are equal to or far higher than the minimum standards required by the school. It is suggested that students applying for English-medium schools should not simply look at the minimum requirements of the schools. In addition, King Saud University (there is no King Saud University) and King Saud University of Science and Technology (officially known as King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) are not the same school. The former is a comprehensive university, and the latter is an international university (only enrolling master students and doctoral students).

School characteristics

The school has the world's top scientific research equipment and laboratories, and is committed to promoting global scientific and technological progress through interdisciplinary research, education and innovation. The school-building concept draws lessons from the "small but refined" model of California Institute of Technology. At present, only master students and doctoral students from all over the world are enrolled, not undergraduates.

The official language of this university is English, and it is one of the most international universities in the world. By 20 16, there were 940 graduate students, accounting for 69% of international students. Most of the school staff come from developed areas in West Asia and East Asia, accounting for more than 90%.
