Virginia Commonwealth University, School of the Arts-Qatar

VCUarts Qatar blends the innovative spirit and high standards of our home campus in Richmond, Virginia USA with the bold originality and deep traditions of Qatar. The result is an art and design education that helps students cultivate creativity, probe possibilities, fearlessly question, surpass limits, set new standards, and most importantly, make an impact. This year we celebrate 25 years in Qatar. Join us as we look forward to our Next 25.

Academics mean so much more than sitting in a classroom. At VCUarts Qatar we challenge traditional learning models; our programs are studio and lab-based, discourse-driven, and unconventional. You’ll find yourself doing research that challenges you and the status quo, working across unexpected disciplines, crossing boundaries to learn at other top-tier universities across Education City, and stepping off campus entirely to gain meaningful life experiences.
