KPU manages the Saudi Arabian Partnership program through the Global Engagement Office. Our team communicates directly with the Saudi Arabian Cultural Bureau (SACB) in Canada with regards to student support and inquiries. SACB is the organization that facilitates the scholarship program in Canada on behalf of the Ministry of Higher Education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
KPU has built a very strong relationship with the SACB by helping its student's transition from ESL to undergraduate programs. Students can start and complete their undergraduate programs at KPU and receive the support they need throughout their studies. KPU is a qualified and approved institution to deliver academic programs by the Ministry of Higher Education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
