With a total of around 20,000 students in its ranks, it is today a beacon of academic and research excellence in the GCC region.</p><p> </p><p>QU is committed to providing high-quality education in areas of national priority. Underpinning this commitment is the goal to align its colleges, programs and courses with established international standards and best practices. As a result, the organization has been successful in its accreditation initiatives, earning the endorsement of numerous leading international accrediting bodies such as ABET, CCAPP, AACSB, to name a few.</p><p>Nine colleges -- Arts and Sciences (CAS); Business and Economics (CBE); Education (CED); Engineering (CENG); Health Sciences (CHS); Law (LAWC); Medicine (CMED); Pharmacy (CPH); and Sharia and Islamic Studies (CSIS) -- offer the widest range of academic programs in Qatar tailoring them to meet the needs of the Qatari society.

Following this, a Health Cluster comprising the colleges of Health Sciences, Medicine and Pharmacy, and the Health Clinic was established to promote interdisciplinary and inter-professional collaboration and enhance the quality of health education and research as well as institutional effectiveness at the University.</p><p> </p><p>QU offers the first-ever Gulf Studies PhD Program in the region. The program provides an advanced interdisciplinary understanding and in-depth knowledge of issues related to GCC countries, and advances a level of scholarship on Gulf issues that is much-needed at this time.</p><p>QU stands as the top supplier of graduates to the labor market -- its graduates are the most-sought-after by employers across the public and private sectors in Qatar. </p><p> </p><p>Research is an integral part of the academic environment at QU and is bolstered by an ambitious five-year roadmap addressing national priorities and listing four priority research areas -- Energy, Environment and Resource Sustainability; Social Change and Identity; Population, Health and Wellness; and Information, Communication and Technologies (ICT). This is further buoyed by its graduate programs, 14 research centers of excellence, accredited laboratory facilities, and a teaching and learning environment that places research and international collaboration at the core.</p><p>QU has been as consistent top winner of the National Priorities Research Program (NPRP) and the Undergraduate Research Experience Program (UREP) research awards, 41% and 62% respectively among total awarded institutes. The University won more than US$17m in competitive research grants in 2017.</p><p> </p><p>QU’s interdisciplinary efforts have engendered a number of award-winning projects and critical findings on issues relevant to the society such as lifelike prosthetic hands, social robots in autism therapy, robotic endoscopy for early detection of stomach cancer, state-of-the-art connected vehicles technology that contributes to addressing road safety and driving challenges in Qatar and beyond, to name a few.</p><p>QU plays a pivotal role in promoting research on the marine environment, atmospheric science and human health, the development of biofuels using microalgae, carbon dioxide sequestration, energy efficient systems and smart buildings, Qatar solar map, and cloud cooling system for World Cup 2022 stadiums.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, QU boasts a unique marine research vessel, “Janan”. The vessel launched a new era of research at the University and provides invaluable opportunities for students of biological and environmental sciences and marine science to conduct environmental studies and research in the waters of Qatar and the Gulf region.</p><p>One of the University’s key research initiatives -- Qatar Biofuel Project, the only one of its kind in the region -- aims at finding solutions for affordable, sustainable biofuels specifically for use by the airline industry.</p><p> </p><p>Community engagement is an area which is at the heart of QU’s mission and vision. The University prides itself on the quality of its students and alumni, and is committed to ensuring that campus life is an enriching environment for encouraging academic excellence, volunteerism, civic responsibility and leadership. Its Alumni Association brings together 40,000 alumni, current students and Qatari society.</p><p> </p><p>Programs such as Al Bairaq, Life is Engineering Project, Gasna, and the Annual Computing Contest are also aimed at raising school students’ awareness of their future role in contributing to the country’s development. Additionally, members of the community can gain further education and training in various disciplines through professional development programs at its Continuing Education Office, College of Pharmacy, and College of Law.</p><p>QU is advancing its goal to become a leader of economic and social development in Qatar through signed agreements, and academic collaborations and partnerships with industry, government, academia, business and civil society in Qatar and beyond.</p><p> </p><p>QU’s ranking successes are an indication of the quality of its faculty members and academic programs, the solid partnerships it has built over the years with leading international institutions, and its growing international reputation.</p>","logoImg":"","logoImgSquare":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/dev/images/shahkja_1033792987219.png","homepageUrl":"http://www.qu.edu.qa/","infoUrl":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/qatar-university","country":"QA","state":"Qatar","location":"아시아","address":"Al Tarfa, Doha 2713, Qatar","phoneNumber":"+974 4403 3333","faxNumber":"","type":1,"univType1":"대학","univType2":"대학교","univType3":"","univType4":"본교","establishedAt":"1973-01-05T00:00:00.000Z","count_majors":null,"count_students":null,"meta_competitiveness":"","publishState":1,"updatedAt":"2020-03-19T11:03:41.000Z","createdAt":"2020-03-04T20:13:07.000Z","default_1_bannerImage":null,"default_1_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_2_bannerImage":null,"default_2_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_3_bannerImage":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/production/images/1659669409928/Qatar University.jpg","default_3_bannerImageMobile":null}}
