Qatar University's PhD in Computer Science, offered since Fall 2011 through the College of Engineering, is a research-heavy doctorate meant to prepare graduates for careers at the leading edge of academia, industry, and government. Candidates master computer science broadly, build expertise in a chosen specialty, and carry out independent research, with the program aiming to grow fundamental knowledge and drive technological innovation through advanced, research-oriented coursework.
The degree requires 60 credit hours in total: at least 27 of those hours go to coursework and the other 33 to research, and the program currently admits full-time students only. Typical completion takes six semesters (three years), with a maximum of twelve semesters (six years) allowed. To graduate, students must clear a qualifying exam after 18 credit hours, hold a GPA of at least 3.0 out of 4.00, and have at least two papers accepted in peer-reviewed, indexed journals before an acceptable dissertation is approved.
