Doha: Qatar University (QU) has announced the admission of approximately 6,000 male and female students for the upcoming Fall 2025 undergraduate semester.

This includes new students, transfer students from other universities, applicants for a second bachelor's degree, visiting students, and course-based students, 70% of whom are Qatari.

QU's Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Mohammed Diab stated that the enrollment of this new group of students is a testament to their great confidence in their national university and their keenness to pursue their university education at a leading institution that offers the widest variety of academic programs and specializations in the country.

He expressed Qatar University's commitment to providing a comprehensive educational experience that goes beyond academics to include activities that contribute to the development of students' skills, personalities, and capabilities.

He affirmed the university's commitment to providing a stimulating and supportive environment that enables students to benefit from all available resources and opportunities, and to continue excelling throughout their studies until they achieve their future aspirations.

He called on all admitted students for Fall 2025 to review their admission decisions through their electronic admission accounts on the university's website.

He reiterated that admission to Qatar University is based on competitiveness among applicants, and that meeting the minimum academic requirements in the high school certificate does not necessarily guarantee admission to a college.

Students are admitted each semester based on the capacity of each college individually. He encouraged students who were not admitted for Fall 2025 to apply for the upcoming Spring 2026 semester.

In a related context, QU announced that the electronic orientation program on university services and policies will be held for new students starting August 17 for all colleges. The university indicated that all admitted students will be contacted via their email with details and links related to the orientation platform.

Qatar University will also announce on August 14 the scholarship decisions for newly admitted and enrolled students for Fall 2025. These include admission excellence scholarships, HH the Amir's academic excellence scholarships, scholarships for GCC nationals holding Qatari high school certificates, outstanding performance scholarships for enrolled students, and scholarships for children of Qatar University employees.

The Fall 2025 semester is scheduled to begin on August 24 for all students, with the add/drop period ending on August 28.
