How to apply

We are a part of the Microsystems Engineering program, so to become a student at NOOR Lab, one needs to apply for MSc in Microsystems Engineering at Masdar Institute. The latest official information about application requirements and application instructions can be found on Masdar Institute Admissions pages. All applications should be submitted directly to the Institute, and all questions regarding the application process should be directed to the Institute’s Admissions Office.

Masdar Institute has a one-year admission cycle for the Masters program; the applications are accepted until May 31 of each year, and admitted students start their studies in September. Applications for Fall 2013 can be submitted online starting November 1.
Here is a brief summary of admission requirements with some advice:

• TOEFL (or academic IELTS) – The minimum TOEFL score required is 91 (Internet based) on the international TOEFL. Equivalent paper/computer based TOEFL is also accepted. The TOEFL can only be waived for native English speakers. The minimum academic IELTS score required is 6.5.
• GRE General Examination. The most important part of the exam is Quantitative, where the minimum score of 700 (old scoring system) or 155 (new scoring system) is required, and higher score is recommended. GRE Subject test is not required. If you are not familiar with TOEFL / GRE exams – these are standardized multi-choice tests which are widely used in the US to evaluate applicant to graduate schools. Masdar Institute is built with MIT standards in mind, so similar admission requirements have been adopted. These tests are administered in many countries around the world. In some countries the testing is available only few times a year (and it takes some time for the test scores to reach us), so please plan in advance. If you passed the tests, but you don’t think the test scores will arrive on time, please contact the admissions office, it might still be possible to consider your application.
• Statement of Objective, which is a 1-2 page long document explaining your motivation for pursuing graduate studies at Masdar. Statement of Objectives is an important part of the applications. You can view it as your letter to the admission committee, where you have a chance to explain why you think you will become a successful student. If there is some specific positive aspect about your application you think we should know about, please mention it. For example, if you have a GPA (average grade) of 3.2 out of 4.0, which might look low to us, but if you mention that your school is notorious for strict grading and your GPA of 3.2 is actually in the top 5% of your class, and also point out that your low grades were mostly in humanities, then your GPA of 3.2 becomes a completely different story. It helps to be specific – facts are always better than general statements (i.e. if you argue that you should be admitted because “you want to save the Earth”, this is not very specific). It is important to mention your the area of research you are interested in. It helps to mention specific topics you are interested in and the names of the faculty you might consider working with, but this is not really necessary, we understand that students usually do not come with the specific research program in mind, and they need help formulating it.
• The minimum required GPA is 3.0 on a 4.0 point scale. As mentioned above, it really helps if you explain how your GPA should be interpreted – different schools and countries often have completely different grading standards.
• 3 recommendation letters are required. At the time of the application, you will need to provide contact information of your referees, and Masdar Institute will contact them directly.
• The resume/CV is required, and it is an important part of your application, because it provides a good format for a concise summary of your strengths.
• The application deadline is May 31 of each year, but applications are reviewed throughout the year, so you are welcome to apply early. This year, the Institute will start accepting applications on November 1.

Please note once again that what the above information is not not official, and our comments represent our opinion, but not necessarily the position of the Institute. For the official information, please refer to Masdar Institute Admissions page, which is the only official source of up-to-date information.

Universitas Islam Madinah Sediakan 150 Beasiswa

NUSA DUA, KOMPAS.com - Universitas Islam Al Madinah Al Munawwarah menyediakan 150 program beasiswa khusus untuk calon mahasiswa asal Indonesia yang ingin belajar di salah satu perguruan tinggi negeri di Arab Saudi itu.

"Setiap tahun kami memberikan jatah rata-rata 150 beasiswa untuk calon mahasiswa asal Indonesia," kata Juru Bicara Universitas Islam Al Madinah Al Munawwarah, Azmi Syukri Zarkasyi di Nusa Dua, Bali, Kamis (15/11/2012).

Menurut dia, beasiswa tersebut diberikan oleh pemerintah Arab Saudi secara penuh kepada mahasiswa S-1 Universitas Islam Madinah asal Indonesia yang pengajuan aplikasi lamarannya dinyatakan diterima.
Pengajuan aplikasi lamaran bisa dilakukan melalui alamat "website" (laman) www.iu.edu.sa mulai saat ini untuk tahun akademik 2013 yang perkuliahannya dimulai pada bulan September.

Selain beasiswa, semua akomodasi mahasiswa asal Indonesia yang kuliah di Universitas Islam Madinah tersebut ditanggung oleh pemerintah Arab Saudi, termasuk uang makan dan tempat tinggal.

"Pemerintah Arab Saudi juga memberikan tiket gratis Madinah-Indonesia pergi-pulang sekali dalam setahun. Tiket gratis itu diberikan pada saat libur musim panas pada Juni-Juli-Agustus," paparnya saat ditemui di arena pameran pendidikan yang digelar oleh lembaga pemeringkatan perguruan tinggi "Quacquarelli Symonds" dan Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) di BICC The Westin Nusa Dua itu.

Azmi menambahkan bahwa mahasiswa asal Indonesia juga diberi kesempatan menunaikan ibadah haji dan umrah.

"Apalagi jarak kampus kami dengan Masjid Nabawi (Madinah) hanya 10 kilometer atau dapat ditempuh dalam waktu 15 menit dengan kendaraan umum. Mahasiswa pun banyak yang memanfaatkan waktunya untuk beribadah di masjid itu," ujar putra keempat pimpinan Pondok Pesantren Modern Gontor, Ponorogo, Jawa Timur, KH Abdullah Syukri Zarkasyi, itu.

Di Universitas Islam Madinah terdapat 11 fakultas, yakni Syariah, Dakwah dan Ushuluddin, Alquran dan Studi Islam, Bahasa Arab, Pengajaran Bahasa Arab Untuk Pemula, Sains, Komputer dan Informatika, Teknik, Kedokteran, Farmasi, dan Hadist.

Setelah lulus S-1, para mahasiswa masih bisa mendapatkan beasiswa secara penuh untuk melanjutkan program S-2 dan S-3 di perguruan tinggi negeri yang memiliki 22 ribu orang mahasiswa, 80 persen di antaranya berasal dari luar Arab Saudi itu.

Sampai saat ini jumlah mahasiswa asal Indonesia yang kuliah di Universitas Islam Madinah itu sekitar 350 orang. Pada 2011 jumlah mahasiswa Indonesia yang mendapatkan beasiswa di kampus itu sebanyak 170 orang, sedangkan tahun ini sebanyak 130 orang.

"Sebenarnya pemberian beasiswa kepada calon mahasiswa asal Indonesia itu telah berlangsung sejak 1970-an, tapi jumlahnya tidak sampai 150. Mengingat besarnya perhatian pemerintah Arab Saudi, maka jatah beasiswa untuk mahasiswa Indonesia terus ditambah," kata pria yang kini menempuh program S-2 Fakultas Dakwah dan Ushuluddin Universitas Islam Madinah itu.

Selain pulang ke Tanah Air, lulusan Universitas Islam Madinah asal Indonesia ada yang bekerja di instansi pemerintahan di Arab Saudi. "Pemerintah Arab Saudi memberikan kesempatan yang besar kepada lulusan Universitas Islam Madinah," tukas Azmi.
