Research Highlights

Perceptions of Environmental Sustainability in Qatar

Qatar National Vision (QNV) 2030 sees environmental protection as a major pillar, and aims to achieve the goal of hosting the first ever carbon-neutral FIFA World Cup in 2022.

Cultural Impacts on Organizational Leadership: The Case of Qatar

Although the field of leadership and its impact from culture is a well-studied field in management literature, the majority of these studies have focused around mono-cultural settings. The Qatari business environment does not fit into a mono-cultural format, because of the high levels of expats who live and work in the country.

Zainab Al Baker

I strongly recommend UDST to Qatari Nationals, as it’s a university that equips you with practical skills, real-world experience, and the confidence to lead in any professional setting. Its hands-on approach to education prepares students to be active contributors to Qatar’s development across sectors that align with the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030, especially in building a knowledgeable, capable, and self-driven national workforce.

Layla Al Sulaiti

My journey with the University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST) began with a Diploma in Office Administration—a humble start that laid the foundation for a life-changing path. I found more than an education; I found a community that believed in me before I believed in myself.

The support and dedication from instructors created a nurturing environment where I grew both personally and professionally. Hands-on experience, real-world knowledge, and constant encouragement fueled my ambition to dream bigger.

After completing my diploma, I returned to UDST to pursue my Master of Science in Human Resources Management. The same support and mentorship deepened my connection to the university, and the knowledge I gained proved transformative.

Because of what I learned at UDST, my career advanced rapidly—from Procurement Officer to Head of HR within a single year. UDST didn’t just prepare me for a job; it empowered me to find my voice, confidence, and purpose.

Atif Ahmed

At UDST, I had the privilege of being taught by some of the best instructors whose dedication and expertise truly made a lasting impact on my academic journey. Beyond the classroom, UDST offered me invaluable opportunities to grow and represent the university on global platforms and competitions, especially as part of the debate club, which allowed me to travel, engage with diverse perspectives, and develop lifelong skills.

One of my most memorable experiences was competing in the Business Case Competition. It was an exciting, challenging, and incredibly rewarding time that not only honed my critical thinking but also created lasting friendships and memories.

UDST is more than just a university—it's the place that shaped me into the person I am today. It gave me the confidence, knowledge, and readiness to take on the next chapter of my life, both professionally and personally. I'm proud to be an alumnus and will always carry the values and experiences I gained at UDST with me.
