Stenden University of Applied Sciences - Qatar (SUAS-Q) held a two-day orientation programme to welcome its newly-admitted students who have joined one of its five different academic programmes, it was announced in a statement yesterday.
This year for the first time in its history, SUAS-Q welcomed its pioneer batch of graduate students who will start their studies on one of the two newly accredited postgraduate programmes – a Master’s degree in International Leisure, Tourism, and Event Management, and a Master’s degree in International Hospitality and Service Management.
The orientation programme was designed to help the new students adapt to the academic and social environments within SUAS-Q. Newcomers were taken for a tour of the campus; they met lecturers, and learnt about different student services on campus. They attended various workshops on study skills and had familiarisation sessions about how to use the facilities.
