Description

The establishment, originally named the College of Education, was inaugurated through a decree by the Emir of Qatar in 1973. Commencing with an initial enrollment of 150 students (comprising 93 women and 57 men), it evolved into the University of Qatar in 1977. This expansion included the addition of four new colleges: Education, Humanities & Social Sciences, Sharia & Law & Islamic Studies, and Science.

Situated on the northern outskirts of Doha, Qatar University is a public research institution and the sole public university in the country. The university encompasses ten colleges, namely Arts and Sciences, Business and Economics, Education, Engineering, Law, Sharia and Islamic Studies, Pharmacy, College of Health Science, College of Medicine, College of Dental Medicine, College of Pharmacy, and College of Nursing.
