Unforgettable memory at Kaust
December 20, 2025by: Yuta Miyahara - JapanMy time at KAUST was invaluable. Research-wise, learning Machine Learning from scratch was stimulating, aided by supportive colleagues and regular reporting. Socially, I loved bonding with fellow VSRP students through various activities. The program offered a perfect way to experience a new culture comfortably. It flew by, and I’m truly glad I came.
VSRP Experience
December 16, 2025by: Samanta Castro Rodríguez - MexicoMy internship in KAUST was an incredible journey of learning and discovery. I gained hands-on experience in research, data analysis, and system design while collaborating with a passionate, interdisciplinary team.
KAUST Honest Review
December 08, 2025by: arman parsa - United KingdomThis University looks incredible, is huge, marble floors and shiny appliances everywhere. But when you approach it, it reveals itself to be pretty empty of substance. The life is quite sparse and boring, I'm lucky to have been able to spend time with family while here, but without them I was quite miserable in my time. just working out and doing research every day. the lab was super kind, and the people really nice to me, but the university and peripheral life experience really dull.
