Doha: The University of Calgary in Qatar (UCQ) will host its annual Open House event for prospective students and valued sponsorship partners Hamad Medical Corporation and Sidra Medicine. UCQ’s Open House takes place on Saturday, November 18, at the UCQ campus on Al Forousiya Road (opposite the horse race track) from 10am to 1pm.
“Our Open House presents a unique opportunity for prospective students to directly engage with faculty, staff, and our sponsorship partners at the same event,” explained Craig Wood, Director of Student Services at UCQ. “The presence of potential sponsors at our event is crucial in helping prospective students explore the diverse, important career paths that are available to our nursing graduates."
The University of Calgary in Qatar is celebrating ten years of educating nursing leaders. UCQ, which is the only Canadian university in Qatar, is the exclusive provider of Bachelor and Master nursing programs in the country. The University’s curriculum is tailored to meet the unique needs of Qatar’s families and healthcare system.
UCQ’s Open House gives prospective students, their families, and members of the community a chance to visit the campus, explore its advanced facilities, and personally meet with faculty to learn about UCQ’s Canadian-accredited nursing programs. Organized tours of UCQ’s state-of-the-art Clinical Simulation Centre will be provided.
Applications are now being accepted for UCQ’s four-year Bachelor of Nursing (BN) program and two-year Master of Nursing (MN) program. The BN program educates students to become Qatar’s future nursing leaders, preparing them for careers in healthcare and academia, as well as developing their problem solving and organizational skills to help care for their families and communities.
The MN program enhances the leadership and management skills of professional nurses already in the workforce, so they can make a lasting impact in their chosen field. All of the University’s programs impart practical and theoretical knowledge from experienced nursing instructors with impressive academic and clinical expertise.
Applications to University of Calgary in Qatar’s programmes are open to Qatari nationals and residents of Qatar through March 1, 2018.
