Start of Academic Year 2020/21

HBKU wholeheartedly welcomes all HBKU incoming students to an exciting, hopeful new academic year. Though we’d prefer to meet you in person to allow you to explore your new campus, we have designed a virtual orientation in response to COVID-19, to ensure a safe, yet exciting experience.

HBKU PRESIDENT Dr. Ahmad M. Hasnah

“We are proud to welcome all our students to the start of a new, exciting and hopeful academic year. Since its founding 10 years ago, HBKU has remained steady in its imagining of the world and people of tomorrow. Our resolute approach in turn reflects our commitment to innovation in education and research, as well as our dedication to finding novel solutions for the challenges facing Qatar and the world.” “In keeping with academic institutions around the world, HBKU accepts the current global situation with positivity, pragmatism and determination. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the world to adapt to an ever-changing and unprecedented situation and has required us to re-think the existing education model.”
