The Saudi British Bank (SABB) Scholarships have been created by the Directors of SABB to develop and support postgraduate study in the UK.
SABB scholarships aim to increase the availability of post-graduate level education to Saudi nationals who are able to gain a UK MBA degree. The scheme will enable you to extend your educational achievements and contribute to the future development of Saudi. The Saudi British bank will fund a twelve-month course of study at a UK university, leading to the award of the MBA (Master of Business Administration).
The scholarship is offered as a one year full-time MBA course, of relevance to the financial field, at an appropriate UK university.
The course of study will normally begin in September or October each year and will last until August or September of the following year.
The Saudi British Bank will cover all tuition fees, together with the cost of accommodation, return travel to Saudi Arabia, and a daily allowance. Please note that funding from the Bank is for the holder of the Scholarship only, and will not extend to any accompanying persons.
We can offer advice on choosing a suitable MBA course, and on all practical aspects of studying in the UK. Academic supervision and support during the course, together with further practical assistance as required, will be provided through the University.
The scheme is open to all suitably qualified Saudi nationals, aged 28 to 35 (at the time of application), including SABB staff. You will also need:
