Doha, Qatar: The diverse, world-class higher education opportunities offered by Qatar Foundation (QF) produce graduates who are equipped to serve the needs of Qatar, and make their mark on the global stage.
QF’s unique educational model intertwines homegrown academic excellence with international partner universities, whose branch campuses at Education City offer degrees that are equivalent to those of the universities’ home campuses.
Through this integrated, multidisciplinary model, QF offers top-ranked programs and specialisations in areas that align with Qatar’s national priorities and vision, and which are also relevant to the world.
QF students have the unique opportunity to cross-register for courses at multiple QF universities allowing them to customise their learning experience.
The contribution of QF Higher Education is significant as QF is celebrating 30 years of progress by highlighting the strength and diversity of its academic ecosystem. QF’s higher education structure functions as an integrated ecosystem that brings together international partner universities, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, pre-university programs, research entities, and community initiatives. This interconnected environment has become a major source of talent for Qatar and the region, fostering innovation and enabling students to benefit from academic flexibility and cross-institutional learning opportunities.
As QF moves into its fourth decade, it is expanding its academic portfolio to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving world. New programs in areas such as artificial intelligence, public health, interdisciplinary studies, and economics are being developed in alignment with national priorities and emerging global trends. With a student body that is more than 65% female and a growing commitment to adaptable, student-centered learning pathways, QF is strengthening its position as a leading higher education hub.
By the 2024–2025 academic year across QF universities around 4,000 students were enrolled across 8 universities and 72 programs.
QF’s long-term impact is reflected in the more than 11,000 graduates who have gone on to contribute across a wide range of industries in over 120 countries, demonstrating the enduring value of the foundation’s comprehensive and future-focused education model.
