Qatar Tourism has launched an education campaign in collaboration with Qatar Foundation (QF) and Qatar University (QU)Ā  to showcase the countryā€™s university offerings and cross-disciplinary hubs where students can graduate with internationally recognized degrees.Ā 

ā€œQatar has a dynamic university offering, and through this campaign, we will be able to highlight what makes Qatar the right choice for university education. Qatar uniquely combines globally renowned education with a rich culture, safe environment, world-class facilities, social stability, and excellent employment opportunities,ā€ says Berthold Trenkel, COO, Qatar Tourism.

In terms of education, QF has created a multi-disciplinary education ecosystem comprising branch campuses of seven of the worldā€™s major universities, as well as its homegrown Hamad Bin Khalifa University. With these institutions located in close proximity, students can cross-register for courses at different universities, and enroll in joint academic programs.

ā€œThe multiversity approach of making it possible for students to maximize their educational experience by preparing them not only for a profession but for life is the best formula for the future of our region,ā€ says Francisco Marmolejo, President of Higher Education, Qatar Foundation.

Additionally, QU continues to serve as the countryā€™s primary institution of higher education with eleven colleges and 94 different programs. Each year Qatar University recruits thousands of students, including international students, who comprise no less than 30% of the student population at Qatar University,ā€ says Dr. Eiman Mustafawi, Vice President for Student Affairs, Qatar University.
