Georgetown Meets with Future Students at Discover Education City Event
The Georgetown University in Qatar (GU-Q) admissions team showcased the benefits of a Georgetown education at the Discover Education City event. The event, organized by Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), was held on October 10 and 11 at the HBKU Student Center. It allowed prospective applicants to find out more about the unique student experience available at Education City.
The event was open to the public from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. on October 10 and 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. on October 11.
“We are pleased to partner with Qatar Foundation to highlight the world-class higher educational options here at Education City,” said GU-Q Director of Admissions, Joseph Hernandez. “We were able to meet with potential students and their parents and to introduce them to the opportunities that come with a Georgetown education.”
Interested students were able to meet at the GU-Q booth to find out more about campus life, extracurricular activities, and GU-Q’s Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (BSFS) degree. Students at GU-Q’s Education City campus follow the same curriculum as their peers at Georgetown’s Main Campus in Washington, D.C., and can major in one of four areas: Culture and Politics, International Economics, International History, or International Politics.
The internationally recognized undergraduate BSFS degree enables graduates to critically analyze, communicate, and make decisions in a rapidly changing global landscape. Since GU-Q’s first class graduated in 2009, alumni have ventured into every industry—from diplomacy to energy, education, finance, and media.
GU-Q admissions staff at the event were able to answer questions from students who wanted practical advice on the application process and financial aid. Attendees were also able to find out more about other upcoming events and workshops, including GU-Q’s own Open House, which will be held on November 20.
