GETTING STARTED
Education City students come from many different parts of the world and are united by their status as high achievers who aspire to be active participants and leaders within their societies.
More than fifty five nationalities are represented, providing a broad combination of multicultural and educational experiences. Approximately half the student body is Qatari and many others are long time residents of the State of Qatar. Other students hail from the Gulf region, the broader Middle East and across the world.
All applicants must go through the universities' rigorous selection process, which is identical to that employed at their home campuses. The process begins at a relatively early stage of high school, and this section of the website is designed to give students and school administrators insight into the entire process of discovering, applying to and eventually enrolling in an Education City university.
For more information about the unique benefits of belonging to this community, please visit the Why Education City section of the website.
