How applying works
You apply directly to each university, usually online. Many programmes are taught in English and follow the home university's curriculum, so check whether the degree is awarded by the main campus.

Visa
Citizens of GCC countries do not need a student visa. Other students are usually sponsored by their university for a student residence visa.
Good to know
Studying in the region keeps travel short and costs predictable, and many students later transfer or continue their studies at the home campus abroad.
How a mentor can help
A mentor who studied there can tell you what the brochures don't: which universities and courses fit you, how to write a strong application, what the visa process was really like, and how much everyday life costs.
