The orientation programme aims to save time and effort for new students recently admitted to the university and to introduce them to university services and policies remotely. Attendance and completion of the orientation program are mandatory for all students to complete the admissions process.
Students who do not complete the orientation program will not be able to register for courses or attend lectures in the Fall 2024 semester, resulting in the cancellation of their admission and requiring them to reapply for a later semester.
The online orientation programme is an interactive electronic platform that includes many videos and presentations introducing the most important university information. The programme aims to familiarize new students with the university environment, student-related policies and regulations, and the services offered to students during their academic journey at QU. It also provides information and instructions, allowing them to access and use the electronic portal, email services, and academic advising services, as well as easily and flexibly select and register for courses from their screens.
Regarding scholarships, QU has announced various scholarship decisions, including excellence admission scholarships, scholarships for GCC nationals holding Qatari secondary certificates, excellence awards for current enrolled students, and scholarships for children of QU staff members, applicable to both new and current students for the Fall 2024 semester.
As part of its scholarship system, QU offers a variety of scholarships and sponsorship programs for Qatari, resident, and international students. These opportunities are available for both the Fall and Spring semesters of each academic year. To be eligible for these scholarships, new applicants must possess a high school diploma or its equivalent, secure final (unconditional) admission to the university, and not be recipients of any other external funding or scholarships.
Scholarship awards are highly competitive and contingent upon the applicant’s academic performance. Merely meeting the minimum eligibility criteria does not guarantee a scholarship. Scholarships are granted to those with the highest grades, subject to the availability of seats for each scholarship program. Students who do not receive scholarships for the Fall 2024 semester can apply for outstanding performance scholarships in subsequent semesters, provided they meet the necessary requirements.
With 12 colleges offering 51 undergraduate programmes and 53 graduate programmes, QU aims to attract talented students and prepare them for success in various fields, aligning with Qatar’s national priorities.
Supported by 18 research centres, QU also emphasizes providing high-quality education, research, and community engagement to prepare graduates who are increasingly in demand in the business world and academic circles and meet Qatar National Vision 2030.
