• Qatar University Fact Book 2023-2024 https://www.qu.edu.qa/en-us/Offices/CSDO/Documents/Fact%20Book%202023-24%20%28EN%29.pdf

  The official Qatar University Fact Book 2023-2024, table 4.1 Registered Students by College, Academic Level, Major, Nationality and Gender, gives 22,886 registered students at Undergraduate level.

  Separate Foundation, Certificate, Diploma, Master, PhD and PharmD levels are excluded. The source does not split the aggregate Undergraduate level into strictly bachelor's and other professional undergraduate routes, so bachelor is left null. The specialist degree level does not apply to Qatar's model.
