Doha: Over the past two decades, Qatar Foundation has graduated more than 10,000 students that are putting their acquired skills and talents to use in their respective industries around the world-working for world-class organisations, starting their own businesses, engaging with their community, or continuing their lifelong learning journey through further studies.
The Alumni Program targets graduates from all QF partner universities and schools. QF graduates are part of their individual school's or university's alumni body, but are also connected to a larger network of alumni that hail from different backgrounds and fields across the QF ecosystem.
The goal is to nurture a strong network of alumni who connect, support, and empower each other.
