Student Research at GU-Q
A Place of Learning & Intellectual Curiosity
Georgetown University in Qatar is dedicated to supporting students in pursuing meaningful research experiences. As students think critically and deeply about complex global issues they advance their research scholarship and take part in the production of new knowledge. We embrace and support undergraduate research because it promotes leadership-oriented learning and provides a holistic and creative environment for intellectual growth.
Honors in the Major
Honors in the major is a prestigious research opportunity available to eligible seniors, offering them the chance to explore a topic of their choice in-depth. Under the mentorship of a dedicated faculty advisor, students gain advanced research skills and training, which culminate in the production of an original, scholarly final project. This experience not only sharpens their expertise in the subject matter but also prepares them for future academic or professional endeavors.
Experiential and Research Grants
At GU-Q, we are committed to supporting students in their research and creative pursuits by providing funding that enables them to bring their academic interests to life. Through this support, students have had the opportunity to travel across the globe, gaining invaluable, hands-on experience through fieldwork and immersive learning experiences.
Publishing Support
We support students in their publishing endeavors by guiding the process of preparing and submitting their research work. We offer resources to help students pitch to editors, refine their proposals, and successfully navigate journal/magazine publishing. This equips students with the skills and confidence needed to enter professional publishing landscapes, ensuring they are well-prepared to share their research and creative projects with a broader audience.
