How to apply in Saudi Arabia

The same rules for every institution in Saudi Arabia; Makkah Colleges's own programme pages govern the exact dates and scores. Guide checked 24 Sep 2026.

Deadlines and intakes

Applications run through Study in Saudi Arabia in fixed windows. The window for semester two of 2026 runs from 16 September to 6 October 2026, for international and resident students. After you submit, your application goes to the institution you chose; you cannot edit it afterwards except for contact details.

Scholarship applications at public universities can also go through the university's own website or the Saudi Cultural Attaché in your country (or the Saudi embassy where there is no attaché), and open according to each academic year's schedule. KAUST and private universities such as Alfaisal run their own admissions.

Language you need

Arabic is the language of instruction for many programmes at public universities, especially in the humanities, law, Islamic studies and education.

English is the language of instruction at KAUST, Alfaisal and in many engineering, science and medical programmes elsewhere. The long-term visa requires proof of language proficiency unless you are coming to study Arabic.
