Doha, Qatar: University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST) launched yesterday the 2025-2026 academic year with over 8,000 students enrolled for the Fall semester, including more than 1,600 new joiners.

The UDST has also witnessed significant growth in its international student community, and welcomed more than 150 learners from across the GCC and beyond, supported by the dedicated International Education and Admissions Office which provides pre-arrival onboarding and ongoing assistance, solidifying UDST’s reputation as a hub for global education.

To mark the beginning of the academic journey, the University hosted Ahlan week, a campus-wide orientation welcoming its newest cohort. The event introduced students to campus life, services, and facilities through interactive sessions and engagements with faculty members, college deans, and student support divisions such as Admissions and Registration, Student Central Services, Sport and Wellness, and Counselling and Accessibility Services. 

Commenting on the start of the academic year, Dr. Salem Al-Naemi, President of the UDST, said, “Our students are not only beginning their university journey; they are joining an academic institution that upholds a national mission and a future-focused vision.
