QF Academic Bridge Programme signs three strategic pacts at NAFSA 2025 Conference
Tribune News Network Doha The Academic Bridge Programme (ABP), part of Qatar Foundation's (QF) Pre-University Education (PUE), participated in the NAFSA 2025 Annual Conference and Expo for International Education, held in San Diego, California, USA. The Academic Bridge Programme's participation in this global event aimed to expand its network of collaboration with higher education institutions worldwide and to highlight the academic opportunities it offers to students in Qatar as they prepare to join top international universities. Through these new partnerships, students can benefit from direct admission pathways and smoother transitions to leading universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, and beyond. Commenting on the participation, Dr. Saheim Khalaf Al Tamimi, director of the Academic Bridge Programme, said: 'This step is part of a long-term strategy aimed at enabling ABP students to gain access to the world's leading higher education institutions by strengthening our partnerships with prestigious international universities and academic organisations. These efforts align with national priorities focused on developing human capital capable of contributing to the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030. 'The signing of cooperation agreements with Arizona State University (USA), George Mason University (USA), and INTO University Pathways represents a key pillar in our strategy to expand university admission opportunities for our students and facilitate their transition to top-tier academic institutions in the United States and the United Kingdom.' 'These agreements also reflect the confidence that leading global institutions have in the academic calibre of our programme. Through these partnerships, we aim to develop flexible academic pathways that align with students' aspirations and meet their future needs, whether at the foundation or undergraduate level,' Dr. Al Tamimi added. 'We also seek to strengthen collaboration in areas such as scientific research and academic exchange, in support of the continuous advancement of our educational system. Embracing international collaboration is a core pillar of excellence at ABP. We believe that providing a multicultural learning environment enriched with global experiences is essential to preparing students who are capable of competing and making an impact on the international stage,' he added. The Academic Bridge Programme's participation took place under the 'Study in Qatar' pavilion – a national initiative led by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education – aimed at showcasing the scientific and academic progress of Qatar's higher education institutions and reinforcing the country's position as a distinguished academic hub on the global stage. This year, the Qatar pavilion featured broad participation from leading educational institutions in the country, including QF's Hamad Bin Khalifa University, and QF's partner universities, including Weill Cornell Medicine – Qatar, Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar, Georgetown University in Qatar, and Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar.
