Northwestern University in Qatar draws from its parent organization, Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois, USA), a distinguished history, famous programs, and an exceptional faculty. Founded in 2008 in partnership with Qatar Foundation, NU-Q provides a framework through which students explore the world and, ultimately, shape its future through its distinguished schools of communication, journalism, and liberal arts.

Ranked #11 in the United States by US News & World Report and in the top 20 universities worldwide by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, Northwestern is one of the best universities in Qatar.

The members of Northwestern University in Qatar's leadership team are true visionaries, forward-thinking and ambitious in building this one-of-a-kind educational institution. Our team members—all accomplished and innovative leaders in their fields—work together to cultivate NU-Q’s quality of education, reputation, influence, scholarly research and day-to-day operations.

Our staff are enthusiastic and committed to supporting students, faculty and the leadership team. Through the work of these dedicated professionals, NU-Q can serve its students and continue its work as a part of the larger educational community in Qatar.

Northwestern University in Qatar offers Bachelor of Science degrees in journalism and communication. The curriculum and courses available to NU-Q students provide a flexible framework, helping them develop a range of skills as they work toward their highest potentials. NU-Q's partnership with Qatar Foundation in Education City illustrates Qatar's commitment to offering students high caliber education as well as an internationally renowned degree, which is identical to that at our home campus in Evanston, Illinois, USA.

Faculty and students at NU-Q engage in pioneering research about the news and media industries in the MENA countries, media use among of women and young audiences, media effects on national identity, journalistic practices, digital literacy and more.

A fantastic school to receive your education. It is very competitive and so, it's very hard to get in, but once you do, you shouldn't worry about the quality of education you'll receive.
