Since you are relatively close to Khobar. Why don't you apply for master's at KFUPM.
It's the best you can get in Saudi Arabia.

Thanks for the reply, good idea, i heard of that school but its too far for me i have a tight schedule i cant waste an hour for traveling from jubail to khobar. :( i really want to study again... :(

hmm if you plan you academic scheduled right, it will be only two days a week between 5pm and 7pm. It wouldn't harm you to apply. you never know what could happen in 6 months.

if you miss studying, then only take the courses you love online from well-known universities.
You'll get a pass certificate by the end of each course. This is the link:

KFUPM is all Engineering school.

You can find all the information regarding graduate school in KFUPM from this pdf file
http://regweb.kfupm.edu.sa/docs/Grad_Bu … _20011.pdf

However, the courses that are offered each semester are part of those. So if you want to see what graduate courses are offer in the current semester (131) or the next semester (132),  then select the department and click "submit". You'll see bunch of courses. The graduate ones starts with 5xx.

You meant, "So, yes."

There are institutions of higher education in Jubail as well.  Search on google.  I think one is called UCJ, University College Jubail.  But KFUPM is definitely the best (aside from KAUST).

Trapezius,
