Northwestern University in Qatar's Bachelor of Science in Journalism runs through the university's Medill School of Journalism, which has built its reputation in journalism education in the United States since 1921 and now offers the same training in Doha. The degree is typically completed in four full-time years on campus, with English as the language of instruction and a 1:8 faculty-to-student ratio.
Across 32 units of coursework, students build skills in reporting, writing, editing, and production while learning to think critically about the stories they tell, and the program trains them to work across multiple platforms so they can reach audiences who expect interactive, high-impact storytelling. The curriculum sits alongside a broader liberal arts course spanning history, economics, literature, political science, and business, taught in small classes with individual faculty attention.
The program is based on a campus of more than 500,000 square feet with dedicated media production space, and the faculty bring both teaching backgrounds and industry experience in media to the classroom. Northwestern University in Qatar reviews applications once a year for Fall-term entry.
