“With every edition of University Expo Qatar, the exhibition reflects the constant progress that the country’s education scene is witnessing. And every time we are a part of this premier higher education platform, we proudly showcase CCQ’s growing range of academic offerings, as well as the various improvements we’ve introduced to enhance our students’ educational journey at the College.”
He added: “This year, we continue to play an active role in helping high school students plan for their future and learn more about the different learning routes at CCQ, through which they will have the opportunity to join the ranks of many successful CCQ alumni who have gone on to assume leading positions at prominent institutions, or further their education at one of our select partner universities around the world. On behalf of everyone at CCQ, I would like to thank the event’s organizers for helping our youth carve their path towards realizing their academic and career aspirations.”
