Studying in Qatar

Hi QL Peeps...

I am a brit working over here in lovely Doha for a minimum of 3 years and was wondering if anyone knew if or anyone is studying whilst here...

I have looked at a few distance learning degrees such as ICS back in the UK but they don't allow study across seas for what i am interested in.

Does anyone know any good distance approved uni's or companies where i can do a degree here in Qatar. Or even if i could study with an American uni or Qatari..

I am not looking at moving back to the UK anyway but am looking at making the best use of the time here!

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards
Stu

ps. I've also looked at OU.. What a mine field that is!

Hi Fitnesspro, v. true but I did found it to be quite rewarding. Please keep me posted about your decision if you take any. An offtopic question, you dont have to answer and you can answer me with a PM.

Why is a fitness trainer interested in an ICT degree :D. I do have an ICT degree but at time I wish to be a fitness trainer.

Hey Alinux..

It just doesnt seem a simple process with OU and it takes longer than average 3 yr degree programmes!

Hi

Great minds think alike :). Had the same idea, I am getting paid well above average, but I will still suprised by the costs of post graduate studies here in Qatar. I did do ICT at AOU, a pan arab university affiliated with OU.

I was thinking about post graduate at OU, why do you think it is a mine field ?

Regards

here there are some good universities but the problem is that most of them are for undergraduate
