GETTING OVERSEAS QUALIFICATIONS RECOGNISED
Most universities recognise International Baccalaureate (IB) diplomas, the US GPA system, British A-levels and the KSA school system for undergraduate admissions. High school diplomas from other systems may need to be attested by the Ministry of Education and your local Qatari embassy.
HOW TO APPLY
Students must apply directly to their chosen university or college. In many cases, domestic and international students can now apply online.
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS
Undergraduate courses are typically taught in English. Foreign-speaking students will have to take two language proficiency tests, the IELTS and the TOEFL, scoring at least 6.0-6.5 and 70-80 depending on the university unless they’ve completed and passed the required exams at an English-speaking institution.
