ProvostHamad Bin Khalifa University

At HBKU, there is a strong sense of purpose and energy that defines the university. The diversity of people and ideas gives this institution its unique character, through programs in science and engineering, law and public policy, health, humanities, and beyond, where learning and innovation take many forms. It is the people, faculty, students, and staff, through their teaching, learning, research, and service, who make HBKU a place of real impact.

The university also places deep value on community life alongside academic excellence. From our research institutes and innovation center to student life, advising, and services that support growth and well-being, HBKU offers opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom. These opportunities matter most because of the people who bring them to life and who are central to what makes this university distinctive.

Looking ahead, HBKU is committed to building on these strengths and advancing its role as a hub of ideas and innovation, while continuing to foster a community where people feel connected and inspired.
