QF’s HBKU Open House engages prospective students in Qatar, abroad

Applications for the 2023/2024 academic year are now open. Dr Michael J Benedick, HBKU provost, welcomed attendees and in his message reflected on the university’s tradition of educational excellence, its multidisciplinary focus, and research priorities. These include sustainability, precision health, artificial intelligence, social progress, and progressive education, which aim to address societal challenges. Held under the theme ‘Your Future is Here’, the Online Graduate Studies Open House featured live, concurrent sessions for the six colleges. The university deans and faculty presented an academic overview and provided in-depth information about the features and research opportunities that make HBKU’s programmes unique. In addition, the admissions team shared the application requirements, and details of merit-based scholarships and financial assistance, while Student Affairs gave insight on campus life at HBKU and Education City. Students were able to interact with all the speakers during a live chat question-and-answer session. The deadline for international applicants to join HBKU in Fall 2023 is February 1. The deadline for Qatari and residents (with eligibility for merit-based funding) is March 15, with last-minute applications closing on May 15.
