Student Life at City University Qatar

Being a student at the university is much more than studying. We provide students with a unique, diverse and inclusive environment both academically and socially:

In addition to attending classes, students will have the chance to develop valuable skills, socialise, and enjoy their time at university. We strongly encourage all students to engage in every aspect of university life. By participating in events and being involved in initiatives, you will have the opportunity to cultivate leadership skills, foster independent learning, and acquire the competencies necessary to prepare for the professional world.

At our university, we believe that extracurricular and social activities play a vital role in enhancing your overall experience. Throughout the year, we offer a diverse range of clubs and societies that cater to a variety of interests, and we encourage every student to get involved. Our students take the lead in organising events, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. With recreational facilities available on campus, you will also have the chance to take part in university-hosted activities and participate in these exciting events. Join us in making the most of your university experience.

Health & Wellbeing

We prioritise the wellbeing of our students through our dedicated Wellbeing Centre, which serves as a safe and supportive space for all.
We offer personalised one-on-one counseling sessions with trained professionals who are committed to helping students navigate personal challenges and develop coping strategies.
In addition to these individualised services, the Wellbeing Centre hosts numerous activities and workshops focused on mindfulness, stress management, and resilience building. From yoga classes to peer support groups, our programmes are designed to foster a healthy, balanced lifestyle and create a strong sense of community among students.
We believe that promoting wellbeing is essential for academic success and personal growth, and we are here to support our students every step of the way.
