* University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST) organised a talent night called 'UDST’s Got Talent'.
The event brought together the university’s students, faculty and staff to compete and celebrate the diversity and talents of the UDST community across various performing arts.
This year’s competition included more than 50 participants taking part in 19 performances that dazzled the audience, from group and solo musical acts and dances, to magic tricks, stand-up comedy and more. 'UDST’s Got Talent' is a night organised by Student Engagement, a division of Student Affairs, and aims at encouraging students to develop and use their skills and ability in a fun and vibrant way outside the academic setting. Many of the musical participants were
members of UDST’s music club.
Dr Salem Al-Naemi, president of UDST, said: “At UDST, we aim to give all our students a unique experience that will stay with them for life. There is no doubt that attending university is a way to acquire knowledge and build a promising career, but it is also an amazing opportunity for students to discover their abilities, socialise, develop their personalities and build friendships. This event is part of many activities that run all year long on campus to create a healthy and vibrant environment for the students. I wish to congratulate the three winners and look forward to witnessing the continued success of all our artistes and commend their dedication to all forms of art."
The ceremony ended with the announcement of the top three performers: the third place went to piano player Asma Bin Ghazal, second place went to the Indo-Pak Dance Group, while the winner was the group of singers and instrumentalists, the 'Miscreants'.
UDST recently announced the opening of applications for the Winter 2023 semester. Applicants can register online through the website, udst.edu.qa, until November 3. "UDST has carefully planned its programmes and educational approach to maximise the benefit for its students. The university gives them the chance to be involved in a critical and integrative learning experience through simulated environments and workplace training to gain a deeper experience in their field of
study and graduate with employable skills," a press statement notes.
UDST offers close to 60 programmes across its five colleges: College of Engineering Technology, College of Business Management, College of Computing and Information Technology, College of Health Sciences, and College of General Education.
At UDST, both Qatari citizens and children of Qatari women are exempted from tuition fees for all undergraduate programmes. This decision was announced by UDST's board of trustees in 2020 and gave these students a chance to study at the university and benefit from top-notch applied education. The total number of students recorded for the Fall semester is more than 6,000.
