GULF COOPERATION COUNCIL PROGRAMS

Universities in Education City are accepting students from other Gulf countries under an arrangement by countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to share educational resources.

The GCC countries which include Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Bahrain have chosen to collaborate in fostering educational opportunities for their citizens. Agreements between member countries allow students to select and apply to a university in the region that meets their individual needs, and in some cases to be funded by their home country.

By choosing to attend universities in the region, Gulf students will be assisting to promote the educational facilities and quality programs available in the region as well as helping to strengthen regional ties.

Students interested in benefiting from the program should consult local authorities in their respective countries to find out how they can qualify for and receive funding support for their education in Qatar.
