KAUST students have access to a remarkable array of research facilities and core labs all within the boundaries of the KAUST campus. With the opportunity to work with research fellows and scientists from around the globe in a tuition-free program, our graduate research opportunities are among the best in the world
Our research centers span the breadth of the sciences and foster inquiry into the intersection of science, technology, and engineering. From our Catalysis Research Center designed for the study of homogenous and heterogeneous catalysis to our marine biology center focused on the unique ecosystem found in the Red Sea; students utilize our labs for many different types of research—from the application of machine learning and AI to the study of solar power and petroleum engineering.
Our Core Labs are perfectly paired with our research facilities, providing a space where research can come to life and hypotheses can be put to the test.
