Launched in 2021, the Texas A&M at Qatar Ph.D. Fellows Program is for high-achieving students interested in earning a Ph.D. and focusing their research on areas of importance to Qatar who plan to work in Qatar after completion of their doctoral degree.
The program is truly unique for Qatar: Ph.D. Fellows will spend the first part of their doctoral studies (typically a year that can be extended to a second year) in a globally competitive environment. When they come to Qatar, they will work on cutting-edge research projects under the supervision of Texas A&M at Qatar faculty and they will be involved in seminars, workshops and other academic activities together with other graduate students across Education City.
The program supports Ph.D. research and theses in topics that are fully aligned with the goals of the Qatar National Vision 2030 and of Qatar National Research Strategy. Students conduct research that has potential for economic impact on Qatar’s knowledge economy.
