Studying and living in Qatar
Costs and living
Fees vary widely between universities (QR 1 ≈ US$0.27): • Qatar University: for students starting from Fall 2026, QR 1,200–1,700 per credit hour (QR 1,600 for engineering and pharmacy), roughly QR 36,000–51,000 a year; medicine costs QR 77,800–149,000 a year. Graduate study costs QR 2,200 per credit hour (QR 2,600 for the MBA). • HBKU: QR 2,500–4,000 per credit hour for graduate programmes (for example QR 132,000 for a whole science or engineering master’s), with a 60–75% waiver for master’s and 100% for PhD students on HBKU scholarships. • US branch campuses in Education City: about US$67,000–75,000 a year (Georgetown US$74,520 for 2026–27); most international students rely on financial aid. Living costs: Qatar Foundation student housing costs QR 10,100–13,002 per semester, and universities estimate non-tuition costs (housing, food, transport, personal) at about US$12,800–14,300 per academic year — roughly US$1,400–1,600 a month. Off-campus housing is usually more expensive.
Working while studying
Work available to international students on a student residence permit is mainly on campus through student employment programmes: • Qatar University: up to 20 hours a week (5 hours a day on study days) and a maximum of 900 hours over the whole degree; bachelor’s students must first complete 24 credit hours with a GPA of at least 2.5. • HBKU: graduate students on a stipend work 10 hours a week as research assistants and may work up to 20 hours in total; teaching assistants earn QR 50 an hour. We found no official rules on off-campus work for student residents, so ask your university before accepting any outside job. After graduation the student residence ends: Qatar University requires it to be cancelled within 5 days of receiving the degree and the graduate to leave Qatar; staying on requires a new residence through an employer.
