Khalifa University PhD Scholarship for International Students 2027

Khalifa University of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, is offering PhD scholarships for Spring 2027 as part of a range of funded doctoral opportunities in the UAE. Outstanding international students can compete for scholarships that may cover part of the study costs or provide full tuition coverage, along with additional financial benefits that vary by scholarship category. Applicants are automatically considered for scholarship funding as part of the admission process, so no separate funding application is required.

Up to 100% tuition coverage, monthly stipend (amount varies by category), free university accommodation for select categories, health insurance for full-time international students, coverage of UAE visa application fees, airfare to the UAE at program start and return travel upon completion for eligible students, textbooks, and support for participation in international research conferences (subject to funding availability).

Applicants must hold a Bachelor’s degree (or Master’s degree for some tracks), meet GPA requirements, demonstrate English proficiency, and provide statements of purpose and research interests with letters of recommendation; direct PhD entry is possible for exceptional bachelor graduates depending on GRE requirements.

Applications are considered through Khalifa University admission processes; no separate funding application is required.
