Hamad Bin Khalifa University concludes its virtual student recruitment event
Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s (HBKU) largest annual Graduate Studies Open House took place between November 22 and 30, providing key information regarding the 2020-2021 academic program through an interactive virtual environment.
Over 500 prospective students were able to take advantage of this year’s sessions, covering all of HBKU’s 33 multidisciplinary graduate programs across its six colleges. The Graduate Studies Open House was directed at potential students who had identified a program of interest and would gain from knowing more about course content, study options, and campus life.
In keeping with previous years, faculty, members from admissions and student affairs, and current students were on hand to field questions and offer their perspectives on working and studying with HBKU. Participants also had the opportunity to discuss strategies for developing stronger applications and hear from college deans as to why the university is such a unique place to study.
Due to the coronavirus, the Graduate Studies Open House was held through a virtual platform where participants attended sessions through the HBKU website, social media, and smartphones. HBKU was also able to diversify the type of information offered to prospective students, including live streams, pre-recorded sessions, and downloadable materials.
Each college hosted their session on a different day, consisting of a live welcome and discussion with deans and faculty members followed by insights and advice presented to the attendees.
Questions on admissions and application requirements were answered by representatives from HBKU’s Enrollment’s Office and Student Affairs, among other topics such as student engagement and campus life. Interest applicants were also presented with testimonials from existing and previous students.
The adjustments to this year’s Graduate Studies Open House enabled HBKU to reach an even greater number of prospective students at home and abroad, meaning that this was the first Open House to transcend physical boundaries.
Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) regularly holds events to highlight its research activities and projects. For more information, please visit www.hbku.edu.qa
