University College London (UCL) Qatar is to host an open evening tomorrow for prospective students, existing applicants and members of the local community interested in learning more about its further education
opportunities.

Doors will open at 6pm at UCL Qatar, based on the second floor, Georgetown Building in Education City. Those attending will be able to hear presentations from UCL Qatar and UCL London academic staff about study opportunities from foundation programmes through to PhD level research.

Visitors, the first British university to open a campus in Doha, will also be able to ask questions via a question and answer panel and receive one to one application guidance. A tour of the UCL Qatar campus facilities and a reception will also be available, giving prospective students the opportunity to network with current staff and
students from UCL.

UCL Qatar, created by UCL in partnership with Qatar Foundation and Qatar Museums Authority, is described as a leading centre of excellence for the study of cultural heritage in Qatar and the Gulf region, focusing on master’s level study in the areas of museum studies, conservation, archaeology and library studies.

Professor Thilo Rehren, director, UCL Qatar said: “As we open our doors to the local community, we hope to share information about the wealth of educational opportunities at UCL. We are looking forward to meeting prospective new students and showcasing the rigorous and dynamic learning environment available either in Qatar, or in the United
Kingdom.”
