College of Law

Legal studies were originally part of the College of Sharia and Islamic Studies. As the Qatar’s development gathered momentum, the need for expansion in legal education became inevitable; hence the autonomous College of Law was established in 2006.

Since then, the College of Law has grown exponentially. The current student population is about 800 with faculty strength of 50 highly educated and diverse academics supported by a team of highly motivated administrative staff.

The College of Law at Qatar University has received international academic accreditation from the " British Accreditation Council for Independent Further and Higher Education " ( BAC) , as an independent higher education institution. The College of Law has also received international accreditation for its Bachelor in Law program, from the " High Council for Evaluation of Research and Higher Education" ( HCERES) in France.

A range of programs have been introduced to enrich the curriculum and achieve the college’s mission. These include the Center for Energy and Sustainability Law to serve as platform for engagement with industry, Externship program to give their students a taste of practical work prior to graduation, a Legal Writing program that advances the writing and research skills of their students, clinics in Domestic Violence, Human Rights, Environment and many other initiatives.

The teaching methods, curricula and research programs have been revamped resulting in over a million dollar research grants, engagement with the community and industry and the graduation of high quality students. In tandem with this growth, a new bespoke multi-purpose building, including a law library and moot courtrooms, is being erected exclusively for the Law College. The college is also poised to start new graduate programs in both Arabic and English.
