Education City

Nestled in the heart of Al Rayyan, the Education City that started off with a single school, over the span of few years, houses students from over 50 countries from all around the world. It offers great learning opportunities with various Ivy league schools and campuses such as Northwestern University, University College London, and Georgetown University Qatar to name a few. Through its recent building of Education City Stadium and the various initiatives it has participated in, the city is on its way to becoming a greener and more sustainable place. The Education City Stadium will be one of the venues for the upcoming FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and its design has earned it a five-star rating under the Global Sustainability Assessment System (GSAS), which is administered by the Gulf Organization for Research and Development (GORD). Some of its sustainable features include creating a climate-conscious design that eliminates the need for auxiliary heating or cooling. It also consists of an efficient waste management system and was built with sustainable materials regionally and locally sourced.

More synergy, more opportunities: In Education City, students not only partake in extracurricular activities offered by their respective institutes, but can also benefit from research, travel, and funding opportunities offered by other universities, as well as Qatar Foundation and its entities. The student life in Education City is also enriched by combined events, collaborative initiatives, and the shared amenities and services of our cutting-edge facilities.

Small classes, large diversity: The classes in Education City are small and provide more individualized interactions between professors and students. Even with the small sizes, our classes have students with remarkably diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Apply once, study everywhere: After gaining admission into our universities, students have the unique opportunity to cross-register for classes at other branch campuses and pursue joint minors and certificates, which consist of taking classes with professors from different universities. Students at our pre-university schools also get a taste of university life by taking undergraduate classes through the Academic Bridge Program, or by participating in the programs organized by the universities for high-schoolers.

International degree, regional culture: By studying at any of our branch campuses in Qatar, our students receive a Western education in a Middle Eastern setting, obtaining the same degree as that of the university’s main campus.
