HBKU President to QNA: We aspire to join world's Top 100 Universities

Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) aims to be among the world's top 100 universities, according to its president, Dr. Ahmad Mujahid Omar Hasnah. HBKU recently ranked 126th globally in the 2027 Times Higher Education rankings, achieving this milestone through collective efforts since its establishment in 2010. Dr. Hasnah emphasized that the university's progress reflects the significant advancements in higher education and scientific research in Qatar.

With over 1,800 students and 2,450 graduates since its inception, HBKU has nurtured Qatari professionals contributing to the nation's knowledge-based economy. The university's strategic plans focus on aligning scientific research with national priorities and global challenges. Key contributors to HBKU's success include teaching quality, advanced research environment, outstanding research outputs, and its global impact.

The university has scored highly in industry applications, research quality, and international outlook in the rankings. Dr. Hasnah attributed these achievements to the support of Qatar Foundation (QF), Education City, and the vision of the late HH the Father Amir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani.
