About Northwestern University in Qatar
In 2008 Northwestern partnered with Qatar Foundation to open the University’s first international branch campus — Northwestern University in Qatar. NU-Q brings all the history and distinction of Northwestern to Doha and offers students the opportunity to study media and earn a bachelor of science in journalism or communication.
These two fields are of enormous social importance, rapidly evolving and offer abundant and exciting career opportunities. The vision and ambition of NU-Q is that the journalists and media professionals who have studied at the University will help bring the story of the Middle East to the wider world and will influence the political, cultural and social life of the countries in which they practice their profession.
Graduates of NU-Q will have all the technical skills required to launch rewarding professional careers. The University also ensures that graduates are broadly educated in areas beyond their specialties and that they will have the flexibility of mind and capacity for critical thinking and clear expression that are characteristic of a truly educated person.
