Tribune News Network Doha The Academic Bridge Programme (ABP), part of Qatar Foundation's (QF) Pre-University Education (PUE), participated in the NAFSA 2025 Annual Conference and Expo for International Education, held in San Diego, California, USA. The Academic Bridge Programme's participation in this global event aimed to expand its network of collaboration with higher education institutions worldwide and to highlight the academic opportunities it offers to students in Qatar as they prepare to join top international universities. Through these new partnerships, students can benefit from direct admission pathways and smoother transitions to leading universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, and beyond. Commenting on the participation, Dr. Saheim Khalaf Al Tamimi, director of the Academic Bridge Programme, said: 'This step is part of a long-term strategy aimed at enabling ABP students to gain access to the world's leading higher education institutions by strengthening our partnerships with prestigious international universities and academic organisations. These efforts align with national priorities focused on developing human capital capable of contributing to the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030. 'The signing of cooperation agreements with Arizona State University (USA), George Mason University (USA), and INTO University Pathways represents a key pillar in our strategy to expand university admission opportunities for our students and facilitate their transition to top-tier academic institutions in the United States and the United Kingdom.' 'These agreements also reflect the confidence that leading global institutions have in the academic calibre of our programme. Through these partnerships, we aim to develop flexible academic pathways that align with students' aspirations and meet their future needs, whether at the foundation or undergraduate level,' Dr. Al Tamimi added. 'We also seek to strengthen collaboration in areas such as scientific research and academic exchange, in support of the continuous advancement of our educational system. Embracing international collaboration is a core pillar of excellence at ABP. We believe that providing a multicultural learning environment enriched with global experiences is essential to preparing students who are capable of competing and making an impact on the international stage,' he added. The Academic Bridge Programme's participation took place under the 'Study in Qatar' pavilion – a national initiative led by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education – aimed at showcasing the scientific and academic progress of Qatar's higher education institutions and reinforcing the country's position as a distinguished academic hub on the global stage.

Lusail University, QF's ABP sign MoU to help students to pursue univ education
QNA Doha Lusail University and the Academic Bridge Programme (ABP), part of Qatar Foundation's (QF) Pre-University Education (PUE), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a strategic academic partnership aimed at supporting students' smooth transition from preparatory studies to university-level education. In a statement, QF stated that the agreement is designed to streamline the transfer of credit hours earned by ABP students, enabling them to seamlessly pursue undergraduate degrees at Lusail University, specifically in Business Administration and Education in English Language Teaching. The agreement aims to empower ABP graduates to build on the academic foundation laid during their preparatory year, enhancing their chances of university admission through an accredited credit transfer system. This initiative reflects the shared commitment of both institutions to providing flexible learning opportunities and fostering long-term partnerships in support of lifelong education. The statement explained that a key feature of the agreement is the ability of students to transfer up to 30 credit hours from the ABP to Lusail University, subject to academic equivalency approval. In addition, students who complete at least 21 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 2.0 (Good) may be exempt from English language proficiency requirements, further easing their path to university admission. The agreement introduces a '1+3' model; one year at the ABP followed by three years at Lusail University, thus offering students the opportunity to accelerate their academic journey through credit transfers. However, students must still meet all academic requirements set by Lusail University in order to earn their degree. In this context, President of Lusail University Prof. Nitham Hindi, said: 'We are delighted to have established this valuable collaboration with the Academic Bridge Program. The recently signed agreement marks a significant step in creating academic pathways that allow graduates of the Bridge Program to enroll in select majors at Lusail University.
