About the programme
HBKU offers graduate scholarships combining tuition waivers with stipends for selected students. Tuition waiver rates vary by program type (PhD, master's, J.D., LL.M., certificates), and self-sponsored students may receive a discounted rate based on need. Stipends, paid monthly or annually, are tied to serving as research or teaching assistants and vary by Qatari, international or local status and by PhD or master's level. Awards are not guaranteed and no separate application is needed beyond admission.
Duration: 21 months (master's) or 45 months (PhD) for stipends
