Doha: In a constant endeavor to enhance collaboration between academia and the media industry, University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST) and the Doha Film Institute (DFI) have officially announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU). 

This strategic partnership is designed to foster collaboration, focusing on training and education, program development, and community outreach activities. The MoU was signed by President of UDST Dr. Salem Al Naemi, and CEO of DFI Fatma Hassan Al Remaihi, in the presence of a distinguished delegation from both entities.

The MoU establishes a comprehensive framework for cooperation across various domains, further supporting UDST’s mission to provide its students with applied learning opportunities and real-world industry exposure. The partnership will especially benefit students in the Bachelor of Science in Digital Communication and Media Production (DCMP) program, offering budding media and film enthusiasts training and volunteering opportunities as well as access to advanced educational resources from DFI.

Dr. Salem Al Naemi, President of UDST, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating: “We are proud to collaborate with DFI, an esteemed institution that not only fosters local culture and media production but also operates with international standards and a global impact.

UDST has recently introduced an Arabic-English track for its popular DCMP bachelor’s program to further support the labor needs of Qatar’s dynamic media industry. Enhancing this program with DFI’s resources and expertise will enrich the curriculum and prepare our graduates for successful careers.”
