Texas A and M University, Qatar

Texas A&M University's campus in Qatar was established in 2003. Texas A&M University offers Bachelor of Science degrees in chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and petroleum engineering. The university also offers two graduate degrees in chemical engineering since 2011: a Master of Science (M.S.) and a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.). In addition to engineering courses, Texas A&M at Qatar provides instruction in science, mathematics, liberal arts and the humanities.

The campus was set up through an agreement between Texas A&M and the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science, and Community Development, a private institution under the laws of the State of Qatar.

The curriculum offered at Texas A&M at Qatar is identical to the ones offered at the main campus in College Station, Texas. Courses are taught in English and in a coeducational setting. The reputation for excellence is the same, as is the commitment to training engineers equipped to lead the next generation of engineering throughout the world. Texas A&M University at Qatar follows the same admissions standards in place at the home campus in Texas.

Texas A&M University has research collaboration with Habib University in Pakistan. TAMUQ agreed that the undergraduate population of its campus in Doha would be 70% Qatari citizens. About 40% of TAMUQ’s students are women, a much higher percentage than in most engineering programs.

Texas A&M University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degrees. Research emphasis areas include environmental issues, advanced water treatment technologies, chemical process safety, petroleum reservoir studies, mathematical modeling, machinery and controls, telecommunications, transportation and roads, electric power generation, distribution and machinery, chemistry, and physics. Research activities that address issues important to the State of Qatar are valued at more than $249.2 million.
