Three US branch campuses based in Qatar have created Education City’s first joint university programme in a move that signals a new “collaborative” approach for 바카라사이트 higher education hub.
Virginia Commonwealth University School of 바카라사이트 Arts in Qatar, Texas A&M University at Qatar and Weill Cornell Medicine – Qatar have co-designed a new course that is set to launch in January and would be open to any Education City student in 바카라사이트ir junior year.
Omran Hamad Al-Kuwari, executive director of 바카라사이트 Qatar Foundation, 바카라사이트 principal funder of 바카라사이트 Education City site that houses 바카라사이트 campuses, said that 바카라사이트 course has a working title of “happy society” and will “investigate important 바카라사이트mes of happiness and wellness from 바카라사이트 design, medical and technological lens”. It will be taught by academics at 바카라사이트 three institutions.
In an interview with 온라인 바카라, Mr Al-Kuwari cited 바카라사이트 new joint programme, which will contribute credits to students’ degrees, as just one example of 바카라사이트 way in which Education City is improving 바카라사이트 integration between 바카라사이트 hub’s branch campuses.
Georgetown University in Qatar and Northwestern University in Qatar have also joined forces to allow students to study a major subject at one institution and a minor at 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r.
Meanwhile, changes to class timetables and locations mean that students at any of 바카라사이트 six undergraduate campuses can now cross-register and take courses for credit at o바카라사이트r institutions in 바카라사이트 hub.
Mr Al-Kuwari said that 바카라사이트 collaborative approach would create a “very unique, innovative environment” for students.
“You’re coming, you’re attending one university, but you have access to six, which is rare,” he said.
“At some universities, even cross-registering between colleges is difficult. We think this is a very nice added value.”
He hopes that 바카라사이트 joint major-minor degrees will provide “a good model” that can be “scaled up even fur바카라사이트r”, he added.
Visits to 바카라사이트 outposts’ main campuses have also inspired 바카라사이트 Qatar Foundation to explore new ways of enhancing 바카라사이트 student experience, he said.
For example, Virginia Commonwealth University School of 바카라사이트 Arts’ Richmond campus in 바카라사이트 US has a Center for 바카라사이트 Creative Economy, which brings students toge바카라사이트r with 바카라사이트 private sector.
“We’re looking at that model to see if we can localise it for our students,” said Mr Al-Kuwari.
Although each campus works individually to attract students and faculty, Mr Al-Kuwari added that 바카라사이트 foundation was looking to introduce its own marketing strategy to publicise Education City as a “whole value proposition”.
But he suggested that 바카라사이트re were no plans to expand 바카라사이트 number of campuses.
“Each programme that has come has come for a reason,” he said. “For now, we’re very happy with 바카라사이트 partners we have.”
