Genuinely full for PhD students: full tuition, a monthly stipend, textbooks, conference support, medical insurance, arrival and departure flights, visa fees, and free university accommodation on the Study Path tiers. ⚠️ SERVICE CLAUSE — read before accepting: the Research Path requires you to "work and contribute to KU's research objectives upon study completion for a period equivalent to the period of study" — a 4-year PhD implies roughly 4 years of committed work. The Study Path carries no work commitment but pays a much smaller stipend (2,000-4,000 AED/month). Awards are tiered I-IV and merit-assessed, so admission does not guarantee full funding. Master's students under this scheme get tuition waivers, housing, insurance and flights but NO stipend.
