Biological and Environmental Science and Engineering (BESE)
The Biological and Environmental Science and Engineering (BESE) Division sits at the heart of KAUST, a graduate-only research university on the Red Sea. We offer master's and Ph.D. programs across bioscience, environmental science and engineering, marine science and plant science — taught in English by internationally renowned faculty with exceptional access to the Red Sea and world-class laboratories. Our students and researchers work to secure food and water, protect marine and coastal ecosystems, and understand how living organisms adapt to their environments — tackling pressing national and global challenges, and helping build a sustainable future for the Kingdom and the world.
