Admission Requirements for MS Programs in Engineering or Sciences

The minimum requirements for possible admission in Master programs in engineering or
sciences are as below:
1. A four-year Bachelors (B.S.) Degree in engineering or science from a recognized
institution with a major in the proposed field or evidence of suitable background for
entering the proposed field.
2. A Grade-Point Average (GPA) of 3.00 or higher on a scale of 4.00 or equivalent, and a
GPA of 3.00 in the subject of the major field. Official transcripts and degree certificates
are required for final admission.
3. Completion of TOEFL with a minimum score of 520 (PBT), 190 (CBT) or 68 (IBT). The

KING ABDULAZIZ UNIVERSITY

Faculty of Engineering - Department of Aeronautical Engineering
PROGRAMS OFFERED
The Department of Aeronautical Engineering provides a Bachelor of Science
degree in Mechanical Engineering (Aeronautical). A Master of Science in
Aeronautical Engineering is also offered. The undergraduate program is intended
to provide students with a sound background in analytical and experimental
fields. The curriculum can be characterized as follows:
The theoretical and practical sides of the curriculum are well balanced.

The curriculum provides practical lab experiences where it is needed.

The curriculum course work is progressive in such a way that the fundamental
scientific and practical knowledge gained in earlier years is applied and used in
later engineering courses.
The elective courses are designed to cover different aspects of the Aeronautical
Engineering, such as instrumentation, systems, and maintenance. This will help
students to gain knowledge in the areas most needed in the Kingdom.
The curriculum addresses economical, ethical and social aspects of the
engineering profession through the related courses.
