Inspiring Discovery
On the breathtaking Red Sea shore of Saudi Arabia, our award-winning campus is more than just a place to work and study – it is a holistic environment designed to nurture the whole person and inspire discoveries.
We achieve this through a unique combination of:
A Global Community in a Unique Location
Thoughtfully designed and ideally located, our campus offers a complete living, working and learning environment. With world-class facilities and abundant recreational opportunities, we cultivate a vibrant community where personal growth goes hand in hand with groundbreaking research.
Our campus brings together people and ideas from all over the world, creating a diverse community of more than 120 nationalities. This unique blend of perspectives fuels an exchange of ideas that redefines possibilities.
This thriving community, coupled with our unique proximity to the Kingdom's ambitious Vision 2030 and its Giga Projects, provides unparalleled opportunities for research with tangible, real-world impact.
Collaborative, Interdisciplinary Research and Education
We break down disciplinary barriers, fostering an environment where researchers and students from diverse backgrounds unite to tackle global challenges through an interdisciplinary lens.
Our flexible curriculum empowers students to co-create their academic journey, selecting courses across divisions and programs to gain a comprehensive understanding of the complex issues they aim to solve.
This dynamic exchange of ideas, from classrooms to laboratories, fuels a continuous cycle of discovery and breakthrough.
Facilities for Discovery
At the heart of our interdisciplinary research ecosystem are the KAUST Core Labs. This centralized network of world-class research facilities fosters collaboration and fuels scientific discovery.
These labs, some of which are unique to KAUST, empower our faculty, researchers, students and collaborators to push the boundaries of knowledge and accelerate impact.
By offering flexible and sustained support, the Core Labs advance the scientific ambitions of KAUST, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and our global research partners.
