We help you find institutions that are culturally compatible, with facilities such as halal food options, prayer rooms, and a strong Muslim student community.
For students concerned about language barriers, we recommend universities that offer English language support programmes or have an international student community where English is the primary language of instruction.
If being close to home is important to you, we provide information on universities located in regions with direct flights to Saudi Arabia or with strong local communities that can offer a support network.
