Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA) Northumbria University participated in University Expo Qatar held last month at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC).
University Expo Qatar was a comprehensive two-day exhibition attended by students aged 16 and above who, along with their parents and teachers, are considering their higher education options.
The event hosted more than 50 regional and international universities, colleges, and vocational training centres, two live seminar rooms, and a lively social area. Institutes participating at the fair had a greater access to meet and engage with their prospective intake of students from Qatar and the wider Middle East.
The event, held under the patronage of HE the Minister of Education and Higher Education Dr Mohamed Abdul Wahed Ali al-Hammadi, offered QFBA Northumbria a platform to create awareness about its bachelor degrees to a wider
audience.
Dr Khalid al-Horr, chief executive officer, QFBA, said, “We are elated to have participated in University Expo Qatar as it offered a greater avenue to reach out to our prospective students across the Middle East and Qatar. Based on our discussion with these young minds, we got an understanding about their requirements, which help us in further targeting our business degrees portfolio as per their needs and buoyant market conditions.
“We would like to thank the organisers for taking this incredible initiative of connecting high school students with leading education providers from around the world and this platform has served us in creating awareness about our latest offerings and our future plans in place.
“Further, we plan to undergo several road shows in high schools of the country starting January next year to showcase the bachelor degrees being offered by QFBA Northumbria University.”
QFBA’s partnership with Northumbria University opens a new gateway to a career in Accounting, Finance, and International Banking for the people in Qatar. In September, QFBA Northumbria University started its Academic Year 2018-2019. Around 53 students from 12 different countries have been enrolled for the first academic year.
The event provided QFBA Northumbria a platform to create awareness about its bachelor degrees to a wider audience.
