Stenden University Qatar and Qatar Banking Studies and Business Administration Independent Secondary School for Boys have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU), paving the way for mutually beneficial co-operation between the two
organisations.
The agreement was signed by Ahmed al-Mahmoud, principal of Qatar Banking Studies and Business Administration Independent Secondary School for Boys, and Dr Ivan Ninov, executive dean of Stenden University Qatar, at the school yesterday.
On the occasion, al-Mahmoud said: “Our students are Qatar’s future leaders and it is our responsibility to guide them to continue their education. I am glad to sign the MoU and hope it yields greater benefits for all students.”
On his part, Dr Ninov said: “We feel privileged and excited about entering into this partnership, which is inspired by our common objectives of educating the future generation of Qatar and contributing to the development of the society and the economy of the country. This MoU is also evidence of Stenden’s commitment to closely work and collaborate with schools and educational institutions in Qatar.”
Under the MoU, the school’s students will benefit from workshops and lectures organised by the university faculty members. In addition, they will explore university life through the “student for a day programme”.
The programme provides potential students with the opportunity to experience Stenden University Qatar for a day and spend a typical university student day. The students will be able to interact directly with staff members and current students and can also attend different classes and problem-based learning sessions. Further, the students will have the priority to join the university if they meet its admission requirements.
