The Foundation Program (FP) in the Deanship of General Studies is the first step in the learning journey for Science and English-track students at Qatar University (QU). The significance of this program stems from its role in achieving QU 2023 – 2027 Strategic Plan that aims to keep abreast of the contemporary global changes and satisfying the needs of both the community and the labor market in Qatar. Such goals can be achieved through more improvement in the teaching and learning strategies, the students’ learning experience, and the community engagement.
One of the main highlights of the FP is its highly qualified faculty members who come from different countries around the world. They have distinguished teaching styles and rich experience to help the program achieve its learning outcomes and the soft skills needed for students. This can prepare our students for this very era where knowledge is obtained from multiple sources and people have the ability to become life-long learners.
The students at the FP receive tuition in both English and Mathematics over one academic year. This is to equip them with the needed skills to successfully complete their majors at QU. The FP courses are offered through an interactive and engaging learning environment, and this is supplemented with student support initiatives to enrich the learning experience of students. This will in turn make our graduates strong candidates for future employment who can also effectively contribute to achieve Qatar Vision 2030.
Please visit our webpage on QU website to learn more about our activities or you may visit us in person on Men’s Foundation Building (A06) and Women Foundation Building (D05).
You are most welcome.
