Lusail University, QF's ABP sign MoU to help students to pursue univ education
QNA Doha Lusail University and the Academic Bridge Programme (ABP), part of Qatar Foundation's (QF) Pre-University Education (PUE), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a strategic academic partnership aimed at supporting students' smooth transition from preparatory studies to university-level education. In a statement, QF stated that the agreement is designed to streamline the transfer of credit hours earned by ABP students, enabling them to seamlessly pursue undergraduate degrees at Lusail University, specifically in Business Administration and Education in English Language Teaching. The agreement aims to empower ABP graduates to build on the academic foundation laid during their preparatory year, enhancing their chances of university admission through an accredited credit transfer system. This initiative reflects the shared commitment of both institutions to providing flexible learning opportunities and fostering long-term partnerships in support of lifelong education. The statement explained that a key feature of the agreement is the ability of students to transfer up to 30 credit hours from the ABP to Lusail University, subject to academic equivalency approval. In addition, students who complete at least 21 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 2.0 (Good) may be exempt from English language proficiency requirements, further easing their path to university admission. The agreement introduces a '1+3' model; one year at the ABP followed by three years at Lusail University, thus offering students the opportunity to accelerate their academic journey through credit transfers. However, students must still meet all academic requirements set by Lusail University in order to earn their degree. In this context, President of Lusail University Prof. Nitham Hindi, said: 'We are delighted to have established this valuable collaboration with the Academic Bridge Program. The recently signed agreement marks a significant step in creating academic pathways that allow graduates of the Bridge Program to enroll in select majors at Lusail University.
