Swinburne Brings Australian Degrees to Qatar for First Time
Swinburne University of Technology, Australia, has teamed up with Qatar University, the Qatar Foundation, and Barzan University College (BUC) to introduce future degree programs in Qatar. This collaboration marks the first time an Australian university offers its qualifications in the Gulf state and reflects growing ties between the two nations.
BUC, positioning itself as a disruptor in Qatar's tertiary education scene, will focus on high-quality, practical, and industry-aligned qualifications. The degrees offered will prioritize job-ready skills tailored to Qatar's evolving economy and national development goals. This initiative supports Qatar's National Vision 2030, aiming to create a knowledge-based economy.
BUC Vice Chairman Dr Hassan Al-Derham sees the partnership as opening doors to global opportunities for Qatari students. Meanwhile, Swinburne Vice-Chancellor Professor Pascale Quester views this as a step towards making the university globally accessible. The partnership will launch programs including computer science, engineering, cybersecurity, business, and Swinburne's foundation program in Qatar.
The collaboration between Swinburne University of Technology and Qatar's educational institutions brings Australian educational excellence to the Middle East. It offers Qatari students direct access to Australian qualifications, supporting Qatar's vision for a knowledge-based economy and marking a new chapter in Australia's international education story.
