Programs

The Computer Science program trains students to create computational infrastructure and apply computational methods to a variety of areas. Computer Science offers six tracks, each of which leads to a frontier of computing: Artificial Intelligence, Computer Systems, High Performance Computing, Theoretical Computer Science, Visual Computing, and Computational Biosciences.

Learn about our rigorous academic programs.

Student Opportunities

The Visiting Student Research Internship Program (VSRP) is an exciting opportunity for highly qualified students in the baccalaureate or post-baccalaureate studies to be engaged in research with faculty mentors. The program lasts between three and six months, depending on the project.

Learn more about VSRP internships.

The Visiting Student Program (VSP) offers research opportunities to undergraduate, M.S. and Ph.D. students who have research interests compatible with KAUST faculty. This initiative differs from VSRP in that it has a flexible timeframe, ranging from several days to several months.

11 centers, three divisions, one purpose

Research in the divisions is driven by independent faculty labs. Faculty can affiliate with one of our 11 research centers to perform applied, goal-oriented research.

ResearchCenters
Core Labs and Major Facilities

Graduate study and the research centers are championed by one of our three academic divisions:

BESE Biological & Environmental Science and Engineering Division

CEMSE Computer, Electrical & Mathematical Science and Engineering Division

PSE Physical Science & Engineering Division

Meet our Computer Science and Extreme Computing Faculty

Research in Computer Science develops the theoretical foundations and the practical software tools to store, analyze, visualize and extract knowledge from big data using large parallel computing infrastructures.

Research in extreme computing creates algorithms and develops software to harness the exponentially increasing power of computer hardware for predictive simulation and to understand and exploit the deluge of digital scientific data.
