Yay rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was with my family on Tahlia Street in a restaurant (dry when we went in), and when we were finished, the streets were flooded!

Too bad/sad the residents in the Southern and Eastern part will suffer again.

I've also been approached by King Abdulaziz University. If any who was worked there or knows anybody who has feel free to give me some insight. As far as what I've read this university seems to fit in between the lower and higher ranked university in KSA.

Since I am interested in lifelonglearning, I would like to read for a doctoral degree on a part-time basis, while working at that university if possible. Has anyone done this?

I assume that you mean by distance or internet? Yes, I've known of many.

I think Susie means in situ at KAAU

Yikes... really? Never heard of anyone doing that in any of the Gulf countries. Have you?

I suspect that it wouldn't even be allowed at most government universities since most places restrict all of their spaces to nationals.

I doubt any "respected Western University" has distance PhD programs.

Yes, my question relates to working full-time at KAAU and reading part-time for a doctoral degree there.

Do you know why the law would forbid foreign females from doing this (other than to ensure places for nationals)? Are there any exceptions to such a law if such a law exists?

Would there not be a question about distance-learning degrees or online degrees, in that, many employers don't recognize them?
