r/Qatar_University

Hi everyone, I'm currently a first year student at UDST for OHSE, college of health sciences. I don't like the subject or the career but I'm willing to tolerate it to just get a decent job. I'm much more interested in doing pharmacy or biomedical sciences which, in Qatar, is only taught by QU.

I got accepted for pharmacy in a UAE university in the summer but my father is only willing to send me out for MBBS which is too expensive or in a country he doesn't like.

I have decent grades, 85% equivalency (which isn't exemplary I know), and am on track for a high GPA at UDST. The college of pharmacy and health science isn't available for application for Spring 2027 though, is it worth applying and getting in to something like Sharia to eventually transfer? Will I still be able to take courses that take me to pharmacy and biomedical? Should I try transferring in the summer with a high GPA?

I've already taken a gap year so if I have to spend all of spring waiting to get into the course I want without any progress then I'd rather stay at UDST. So would I have a guarantee to transfer if I get a high GPA in QU?

if ur able to help in any way please text me
i got a 7 in igcse first language english
a in igcse maths
a in as maths edx
hopefully an a* in alevel
do i still need to take the math SAT and ielts?

I wanted to ask if any international students have ever been accepted into the university of Qatar to study medicine on the “free tuition, free university housing, a small monthly stipend (around QAR 500), text book exemption, and an annual round-trip airfare ticket”

or is it just there and no one has even been accepted cause I haven never encountered a person who got it

Just curious btw, did anyone get accepted into QU with percentage around 80s

Hey!

I am eager to join QU (spring 27) for emgineering. I am a student of the british curriculum (studying in saudi arabia). I have done 8 Olevel subject with 7 of them being A* and 1 being A. I have also done physics AS (with grade A) and math A-level, with grade B, however i could apply with AS alone which i scored A in (yep messed up big time in A2 ehich brought my overall score down), if that helps my application.

I am also preparing for SAT (expecting 1500 or slightly higher).

Given all that info, what is my best option: is it to do a third AS subject, or a full A-level (meaning would they appreciate a full a-level more than an AS or is it all depending on the grade?)

And should i apply with math AS alone (A) or full A-level (B) or better retake A2 and score an A?

And does the SAT make me not require their placement test?

Ik this was a lot, but i am lowkey lost and would really appreciate any sort of guidance 🙏
