Education City in Doha is the one the world’s first “multiversities, “ a place where you’ll find not just one exceptional university, but six.
Home to 1,300 students—of more than 70 nationalities—Education City offers world-class academic programs on a sprawling, 2,500-acre campus.
An Enclave of Excellence
In addition to Carnegie Mellon, the following renowned institutions are also located in Education City
