In Qatar, Northwestern University draws from its parent organization, Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois, USA), a distinguished history, famous programs, and an exceptional faculty. Founded in 2008 in partnership with Qatar Foundation, NU-Q provides a framework through which students explore the world and, ultimately, shape its future through its distinguished schools of communication, journalism, and liberal arts.
Ranked #11 in the United States by US News & World Report and in the top 20 universities worldwide by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, Northwestern is one of Qatar's best universities.
The members of Northwestern University in Qatar's leadership team are true visionaries, forward-thinking, and ambitious in building this one-of-a-kind educational institution. Our team members—all accomplished and innovative leaders in their fields—work together to cultivate NU-Q's quality of education, reputation, influence, scholarly research, and day-to-day operations.
Our staff are enthusiastic and committed to supporting students, faculty, and the leadership team. Through the work of these dedicated professionals, NU-Q can serve its students and continue its work as a part of the broader educational community in Qatar.
Northwestern University in Qatar offers Bachelor of Science degrees in journalism and communication. The curriculum and courses available to NU-Q students provide a flexible framework, helping them develop a range of skills as they work toward their highest potentials. NU-Q's partnership with Qatar Foundation in Education City illustrates Qatar's commitment to offering students high caliber education and an internationally renowned degree, which is identical to that at our home campus in Evanston, Illinois, USA.
Faculty and students at NU-Q engage in pioneering research about the news and media industries in the MENA countries, media use among women and young audiences, media effects on national identity, journalistic practices, digital literacy, and more.
