Our Vision & Mission

Dear Students and Prospective Students,

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I welcome you to the academic year 2024/2025 at City University, in partnership with Ulster University. Whether you are a returning student, or you are just beginning your academic journey with us, I am thrilled to have you as part of our growing community. As the President of City University, I want to share with you the exciting developments that await you this year and extend a warm invitation to explore the wealth of opportunities we offer.

Since our founding in 2018, City University has grown and evolved, and I am proud to announce that we have now become a fully-fledged university. Our partnership with the prestigious Ulster University in the UK has been at the heart of this transformation, and together, we are committed to delivering world-class education right here in Qatar. As you begin or continue your academic career with us, you will be part of a university that values academic excellence, innovation, and personal growth.

This year, we are especially proud to welcome students to our brand-new, state-of-the-art campus in Lusail. The campus, which is now fully operational, represents a new chapter for City University. Located in the vibrant and rapidly growing City of Lusail, our campus offers an inspiring environment for learning, collaboration, and exploration. With cutting-edge facilities, spacious classrooms, and advanced technology, the Lusail campus is designed to foster creativity and critical thinking, preparing you to meet the challenges of the future.

At City University, we offer a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, each carefully designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills required to excel in a dynamic global economy. Whether your passion lies in Business, Computing, Marketing, or AI, you will find that our academic programmes are not only relevant but forward-thinking, such as our pioneering Bachelor of Engineering Artificial Intelligence . We aim to provide you with a world-class education that bridges theory with practice, ensuring you are well-prepared to step confidently into your chosen career path.

Our collaboration with Ulster University continues to bring global expertise directly to you. With Ulster's 150-year legacy of excellence, research, and innovation, you will benefit from the guidance of experienced faculty who are leaders in their fields. Ulster University is ranked among the top in the UK for research impact, meaning the education you receive at City University is grounded in cutting-edge research and current industry practices. Through this partnership, we are proud to offer you internationally recognized qualifications that open doors both locally and globally.

In addition to your academic studies, we are committed to providing you with a holistic university experience. This includes opportunities for internships and industry placements through our extensive network of corporate partners. These practical experiences will help you apply what you’ve learned in the classroom and develop the professional skills that employers are seeking. Our support services are also designed to ensure your well-being and success throughout your time with us. Whether it’s academic advising, career counseling, or personal development workshops, we are here to support your journey.

For those of you joining us for the first time, I encourage you to make the most of your university experience. City University is more than just a place to earn a degree—it is a vibrant community where lifelong friendships are formed, ideas are shared, and talents are nurtured. Take advantage of every opportunity to get involved, whether through academic clubs, extracurricular activities, or student leadership roles. This is your time to grow, explore, and challenge yourself in new ways.

As we embark on this new academic year, I want to emphasize that each one of you plays a vital role in shaping the future of City University. Whether you are a local student or an international student from abroad, you bring unique perspectives, experiences, and talents that enrich our university community. We are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive.

I am confident that the academic year 2024/2025 will be filled with opportunities for growth, discovery, and success. My advice to you is simple: embrace the challenges, seize the opportunities, and never hesitate to reach out for support when you need it. Your success is our success, and we are here to help you every step of the way.
