Gain a Middle Eastern perspective while earning an American degree.

Medill’s onsite presence in the Middle East has been in place since 2008 as part of Northwestern University in Qatar (known as “NU-Q”).

NU-Q’s space, which is located in Doha’s Education City (an area that houses facilities from leading universities), offers 515,000 square feet of space dedicated to Northwestern’s use. This new, permanent space opened in 2017 and is three times as large as Northwestern’s previous location in Qatar. The facility is impressive and modern, crafted to encourage interactions between students and faculty as well as serve as a place to present and share information easily and informally.
