Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q) will hold a special event today for prospective students.
From classes to campus tours and meetings with Georgetown professors,
the ‘Day in the Life of a Georgetown Student’ event – free and open to
the public – will offer a unique experience to interested applicants.
The student-centred event, which will be held from 4.45pm, allows
visitors to learn more about student life and academic programmes from
alumni and current students. They can sample one of GU-Q’s four majors
by attending classes and ask questions about student clubs, studying
abroad, and life beyond the classroom.
“At ‘A Day in the Life of a Georgetown Student’, we offer a first-hand
experience of what it’s really like to study at Georgetown,” said
admissions officer Mariam Lachin (SFS ‘15), one of the organisers of the
event. “You can go to class, meet the professors and students you’ll
see on a daily basis, and hear how our graduates have used their
Georgetown degrees to make a difference in the world.”
As the event takes place ahead of GU-Q’s February1 application deadline,
there will also be a question and answers session for interested
students to find out more about the process of applying to study at the
university.
GU-Q offers a unique inter-disciplinary Bachelor of Science in Foreign
Service degree, using the same internationally-ranked curriculum as
Georgetown’s main campus in Washington, DC.
Students can major in Culture and Politics, International Economics,
International History, or International Politics, and complement their
education with a minor in Arabic or certificates in Arab and Regional
Studies, American Studies, or Media and Politics.
