[edit]

Education City was launched by Qatar Foundation in 1997. The following year, Virginia Commonwealth University became the first institute to establish itself on its campus.[13][14] In 2001, Japanese architect Arata Isozaki was commissioned to design the master plan for Education City. Subsequently, the project underwent design modifications as the North and South campuses expanded.[15] The city was officially inaugurated in 2003.[16] Over the past 20 years, Education City has grown from a single school to a multi university campus with students from over 50 countries and an enormous research fund, offering significant opportunities for the advancement of knowledge and research across a variety of disciplines.[17] Initially planned as a single university, Education City evolved into a partnership with international institutions tailored to Qatar’s needs.[18] These partnerships offer students at any of the undergraduate campuses the opportunity to cross-register for courses at other institutions within the hub, allowing them to earn credits towards their degree.[19] Each international campus has an area of expertise associated with its home university, providing complementary academic specialisms. Carnegie Mellon University specialises is business administration and computer science. Georgetown University covers foreign service, while Northwestern University focuses on journalism and Texas A&M University on engineering. Virgina Commonwealth University specialises in art and design. Weill Cornell Medicine offers medical programmes and the HEC Paris campus is considered to be a French business school.[20] Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art opened to the public on December 30, 2010 in a renovated former school building in Education City.[21][22] Qatar National Convention Centre officially opened on December 4, 2011, with the 20th World Petroleum Congress, which drew more than 5,000 delegates.[23] Following the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan in 2021, Education City provided students, faculty, and staff at the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF) with the chance to relocate, allowing temporarily evacuated students to continue their studies in Qatar.[24] AUAF now operates primarily as a virtual university.[25] In 2024, applications for admission to Education City universities rose by 12%, according to a 2026 feature in NAFSA's International Educator.[5]

Its collection contains over a million books, and it also provides study spaces and a separate cultural heritage collection. Designed by the Dutch architectural firm OMA, the building covers an area of 485,000 square feet (45,100 m2).[77][78]

Education City Tram in operation in 2024

Three separate stations of the Doha Metro's Green Line (also known as the Education Line) serve Education City: the Education City station, the Qatar National Library station, and the Al Shaqab station. All three stations were opened to the public on 10 December 2019.[91]

The Yellow and Blue Lines serve the South Campus, while the Green Line connects the North Campus. It is designed to enhance connectivity and reduce the campus's carbon footprint. Public bus service is also offered.[92]

Controversy

[edit]

American universities which have established campuses in Education City have been the subject of ongoing criticism of whether it is appropriate to maintain a campus in Qatar, given the alleged Qatari links to state-sponsored terrorism, the lack of freedom of speech in the country and the country's absolute monarchy. In an interview with Gulf News Journal, Herbert London, president of the pro-Israeli London Center for Policy Research, said "universities I think have compromised themselves" by having campuses in a country like Qatar where academic freedom and freedom of the press are severely limited.[93]
