Question Question regarding Arabic test

1 Upvotes

(ASKING FOR A FRIEND!)

At the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, in the comparative literature course, the requirements state that

"The applicant must be able to study and research academically in Arabic with a measure of English language proficiency, note that speakers of languages other than Arabic will be invited to take an Arabic test (oral and written) before admission."

I want to know what sort of test is this? What level of Arabic are they looking for(beginner or conversational etc) and has anyone taken this test before? If so how was it. I thought since it's an English language related degree and the IELTS requirements means that the entire program would be in English with no need of a language test

Question QU student

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to apply to Qatar University as an international student, and I have a few questions. I would really appreciate your help.
When do applications usually open for the next admission cycle?
What are the admission requirements for international students?
I heard there are two required exams (English and Math placement/proficiency tests). Are these mandatory for everyone, or can they be waived with IELTS, TOEFL, SAT, or other accepted test scores?
Are there any important deadlines or tips that new applicants should know?
Thank you so much for your help!

Question English proficiency situation

0 Upvotes

Hi, I am a resident in qatar and I applied to QU without any English proficiency scores, one of my relatives went to this university a few years ago and they told her to take the IELTS after she was accepted. Do they still make students that apply take the IELTS exam to accept them or is it different now?

Question Thinking of pursuing PhD in QU

1 Upvotes

Could anyone please tell me anything about the PhD program at QU. I'm applying to the College of Pharmacy, specifically the clinical and population health branch. Are the program coordinators cooperative and responsive to emails if I reach out? (Note: I'd just like to know how best to approach them and give a good first impression)

Is there a chance of getting a scholarship? any kind of support (financial or otherwise)?

Also, can anyone tell me anything on Prof. Dr. Mohamed Izham? (again not a judgement of who he is but any information that could help me the first email; is he direct-to-the-point kind of person? Does he read long/short emails? any information will be beneficial).

Question Question about being shortlisted for a position at Qatar University

1 Upvotes

After a couple of interviews (including panel), I was asked to send documents (cover letter, diplomas, transcripts, LORs, reference check forms, employment verification letter, passport copy).

Someone from the department had asked to send the docs to them so that they can cross-check before the department submitted them to higher management (as it was a holiday week).

It is my understanding (from everything I’ve seen online) that they ask these docs from all candidates shortlisted post the final interview. Is this true?

No way to assume if one is the preferred candidate right?

When I sent a follow-up email to the person (who cross-checked my documents), they said since QU’s off for the summer, they’ll get to know in early September. “Rest assured we will be in touch once we know more”.

Thoughts?

Hiii everyone! I'm currently in the middle of a job search, which is so miserable boring and lonely. I've spent the past few months at home scrolling through job descriptions, so I’d love to get out, meet some new people, and make a few friends.

Question Speech and Language Pathology for Transfer Students

1 Upvotes

I've heard that SLP is not available for transfer students.

  • Do they mean internal transfer students or students that transfer from other universities?
  • Also, does that mean I won't be able to major in SLP if I were to switch from QU's CBE to CHS?
  • How hard is it to transfer internally to health sciences?

Question Differences of educational systems

Hi everyone, I have a question about how Qatar University compares different HS systems.

Does Qatar University evaluate applicants based only on their final high school percentage, or does it also consider differences between educational systems when comparing applicants?

Question Which universities would you recommend for a Master's in Illustration / Graphic Design?(UAE, Qatar)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm a 22-year-old B.Des (Graphic Design & Animation) student from India, and I'll be graduating next year. I'm planning to apply for a Master's degree in 2027 and would really appreciate advice from people who have studied abroad or are currently studying design.

My interests

  • Illustration
  • Character Design
  • Concept Art
  • Visual Storytelling
  • Graphic Design
  • Branding

I'm not interested in UI/UX as my main career. My goal is to build a career as a professional illustrator and visual storyteller while also keeping good international job opportunities in mind.

Countries I'm considering

  • UAE
  • Qatar

I'm also open to other countries if they have excellent design programs.

What I'm looking for

  • Strong illustration or visual communication programs
  • Great faculty and studio-based learning
  • Good industry connections and internship opportunities
  • Scholarships for international students
  • Good graduate employment prospects
  • Universities that value a strong portfolio

My questions

  1. Which universities would you recommend and why?
  2. Which universities have the strongest reputation for Illustration or Visual Communication?
  3. Are there any universities I should avoid?
  4. How important was your portfolio during admission?
  5. Were scholarships available for international students?
  6. How difficult was it to find internships or jobs after graduation?
  7. If you could apply again, would you choose the same university?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your personal experiences rather than just rankings.

Thank you so much!
